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
No matter the storm…
The scripture that I read today and felt led to respond to was from Psalm 56:1-7. I went back in my journaling to see what I wrote about last year on May 6th. The same verses and thoughts were there as well. So instead of reinventing the same story, I would like to...
Time to cast the line.
When I was a little girl, going to my grandparents’ home, almost daily, was just like breathing for me. It just came natural. I have many wonderful memories of the activities I did at granny and grandpa’s house. One memory that just popped into my mind while...
Friends
“The righteous choose their friends carefully.” Proverbs 12:26a When I read this verse, I automatically thought about my friends. God has blessed me with special friends who mean the world to me. Tonight I specifically thought about my friend Susan. Why? ...
The "Heart" of the Matter
Today has been one of those days that my cell phone has been close at hand. I warned my students that if my phone goes off, I will answer it because I had two situations to check on. I had two loved ones who had heart procedures done today. My father-in-law had a...
Prayer
Today is National Day of Prayer. Prayer is you talking to God. For me…prayer is an all-day thing. God often wakes me up early, so I just assume He wants me to talk to Him. He’s so precious. He wants to spend time with me. Even when there are those days when I wake...
Hate Lying. Love Honesty.
Mendacious, deceitful, insincere, dishonest, double-dealing, lying, false. Do these words just put a smile on your face or what? I’m going with “or what”. Or what? It makes my stomach turn. When someone lies to me, or even when I’ve lied, my gut just gets a feeling...
Wise words applied.
Cole has a sign in his room that we bought when he was a toddler that says, “I’m not bossy, I just have better ideas.” This saying fit his and Holly’s personality to a tee back then. They get their sometimes stubbornness honestly. Tim and I both can have a “set in...
Get a glimpse…
A few thoughts from reading Luke 19:1-9: First of all, every time I read the name Zacchaues, I can’t help but sing the corresponding children’s song. You know the one. You’re probably already singing it now: Zacchaeus was a wee little man And a wee little man was he...
"Dog-gone" Blind
When I read Luke 18:35-43 about “A Blind Beggar Receives His Sight”, I thought of my dog Sadie. See,(no pun intended) Sadie will be 18 years old this July. She is a black poodle that has been a wonderful and easy to care for dog. For the past year, Sadie has begun...
Fantasize, but Work Hard
Those who work their land will have abundant food, but those who chase fantasies have no sense. Proverbs 12:11 When I read this verse it reminded me of my daughter’s goals in life. She has them, and they’re great! But paving the way to reach those goals seems a bit...
I've sinned.
Do you sin? HA!!!! Of course you do. Romans 3:23 says, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Sometimes I feel like I’m the biggest sinner of them all. No matter the depth of my sin, God has a way of convicting me, and praise God He does! I’ve...
What type of wife are you?
This is a no brainer for me: In corner number one of the ring you have standing tall, strong, and shining like a diamond….Wife Crown! In the other corner, decaying away at your bones, dull, yet powerful…..Wife Cancer! *Ding* Hmmm, whom do you really root for? What...
