About Stephanie Shuff

I am a blessed girl! God uses everyday situations in my life to teach me about Him and His love. God’s Word is alive and active! A verse that I may have read last year, last week, or even yesterday, may have a new meaning to me depending on the season of life I’m in. This isn’t just true for me, but for you too. I thank you for reading and sharing this blog. I pray that God will speak to you through it all.

Become a Christian

In your personal opinion, what do you understand it takes for a person to go to heaven? It is as simple as spelling the word faith out on each finger.

Daily Walking with God

The Real Thing…

Coca Cola may have coined the slogan “Coke, it’s the real thing.” But if you want the truth…. God’s love is the Real Thing! “My Lord, your love is real.”  Psalm 62:12 That’s it.  Do you want to have real love?  God’s got lots to give. Blessings to you.  May 18 1...

Don't just do….Be!

Just because you go to church (weekly or every now and then), own a bible, and even pray, doesn’t mean that you are a Christian.  Fellowship with godly folks, reading a scripture here and there, and praying is all good, but don’t place your eternal security in these...

Learn from Hannah

  We read in 1 Samuel 1 that Hannah was drunk on sadness and troubles.  But, those weren’t the only feelings she was consumed with.  Hannah was drunk on hope, and she regurgitated her sadness, troubles, AND hope through prayer to The God Almighty. Eli thought she...

Be friends with those who are wise, and you will become wise. Choose fools to be your friends, and you will have trouble. Proverbs 13:20. Can I hang this in my classroom, in the hall, in the girls and boys restroom?  Middle school years are tough.  Wait, so are high...

Are you full of it?

I’m full of it! I want to be fuller of it! Are you full of it? Do you want to be full of it? I hope that you’re so full of it. Well, in John 1:14, 16, and 17 we read that a.k.a. The Word, a.k.a. Son of the Father, a.k.a. Jesus Christ was full of it too.  He is the...

Decisions…show wisdom or foolishness

“Wise people always think before they do anything, but fools show how stupid they are by what they do.” Proverbs 13:16 I’ve been wise, and I’ve been a fool at times too. Whether it was peer pressure, the desire to feel included, wearing my heart on my sleeve, alcohol...

What fires you up?

“That just burns me up!” Have you ever heard or used this saying?  I remember hearing and saying this while growing up. In most instances, that saying was a reaction after seeing or hearing something that just wasn’t right and mad you upset.  You evidently were...

A complete transformation.

Today a friend told me the story of the amazing transformation of her husband’s life.  I’ve heard small parts of his testimony before.  But this afternoon I got the whole package. It’s not mine to share, and I wouldn’t dare without permission (Oh, how I would love for...

A glimpse in one's eyes

You can tell a lot by looking into people’s eyes.  When I read Proverbs 13:9-10, the eyes of others is one of the thoughts that ran through my head.  It says, “The lives of good people are brightly lit streets; the lives of the wicked are dark alleys.”  At first I...

Simply Blessed

  The Simple Life. Ahhh, those are words I’ve heard for many years.  Since I grew up in the country, and still live in a small town, these are words that I have grown to appreciate. Now, I’m not saying that life is all that simple, but when I look around at...

The Look

I have given “the look”.  I’ve received “the look”.  There are times when I know “the look” is right around the corner and I don’t want to turn that corner. “The Look” could mean various things: When my children do something wrong and they know it’s wrong, sometimes...

Tempted. Prayed. Success.

  “Get up and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.”  Luke 22:46b This morning when I read Luke 22:39-46, God must have been preparing me to make sure I had a prayerful day and not to fall into temptation. Whew! After I read God’s word, I decided to let...
