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.

Wisdom for Right Choices
For the past two weeks, all the students in the Florida Public School System have been taking the test called The FCAT. The day before my youngest, Cole, was preparing for his test, we prayed it all up to God. In the prayer I mentioned for God to give Cole the...
Make Jesus Do The Happy Dance
About ten years ago Tim had given me a necklace for Mother’s Day. It has three diamonds to represent my three children and The Trinity. The other day I thought I had lost my necklace. Well, I did lose it. My mind was racing trying to remember when the last time I...
People Watching
“On a Sabbath day, Jesus went to the home of a leading Pharisee to eat with him. The people there were all watching him very closely.” Luke 14:1. When you become a Christian, people watch you. They watch to see how you will react to various situations. They watch to...
The Joys of Parenting: Repetitive Conversations
Parents, do you ever have the same conversation over and over again with your kids? Oh my! I won’t get on my soap box about the repetitive dialogue I have with my kids with you. But I’m pretty sure that we would be bubbling over with “Amen, sista, you are preaching...
Justice will be served.
When I read Proverbs 11:19-21 I can’t help but think of the scene that is in front of me on the news that has been unfolding over the past few days…the horrific bombing in Boston. I’ve been glued to the news. Prayers are uplifted, tears have been shed, and hope is...
“Danger, Danger, Will Robinson.”
Okay, it’s very simple. When you are kind, you’ll end up happy and satisfied when all is said and done. But, when you are malicious, watch out, “Danger, Danger, Will Robinson.” If you remember watching the 1960’s tv show, “Lost in Space”, or have seen its reruns,...
Join me.
It doesn’t matter what your political affiliation is, I hope that we all desire what is describe in Proverbs 11:14a, “A nation without wise leaders will fall.” I pray for the leaders in our towns, states, and country. I pray that they will seek the wisdom of The One...
Hurry up and wait.
“Hurry up!” “Let’s go!” “Come on!” “Now, now, now!” Have you heard these phrases? Have you said these words? One of the greatest verses tells us to do just the opposite. Psalm 46:10a famously reads, “Be still, and know that I am God!” Let’s turn the above phrase...
What are you filled with?
When I acquired the classroom I am currently in from a wonderful teacher who retired, the room space wasn’t all I acquired. I was given all the many years of “stuff” that was left behind. I slowly started cleaning out and getting rid of all the materials I didn’t...
He knows what you are thinking.
He knows what you are thinking, and I'm not talking about Santa. “Jesus knew their thoughts…” Luke 11:17a When I read Luke 11:17, I just stopped and thought. Yep. God does know our thoughts. He knows what we are going to say and do before we even do it. He gave...
Sit, Relax, and Listen
Tim and I just returned from a sweet retreat with friends at the beach. There is just something about time at the beach that just takes any worries away. Especially when I get to enjoy a sunset, with my toes in the sand, I just soak it all up and feel life’s...
"Let me at 'em"
When we are given a position that makes us feel like we have authority, we need to make sure we keep “in check” and stay humble. When I read Luke 9:55, I giggle. Jesus had given His disciples much authority, and it is clear that they were taking advantage of it. ...
