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
Don’t Just Talk the Talk
It’s not who you know or who you are that will guarantee you a life in heaven. It is you accepting and believing Who you know and Whose you are. That “Who” is Jesus Christ. No matter if you are a Jew, Baptist, Catholic, Presbyterian, Methodist, or any other...
A Rollercoaster of Emotions
What a range of emotions Mary must have felt being the mother of Jesus Christ, God’s Son, The Savior of the world. I applaud her. When I read Luke 2:41-51 I could just imagine the roller-coaster of emotions Mary must have experienced. Verse 44: Mary and Joseph...
You Are Unique.
Today I was walking around my classroom while the students were so diligently working on their math and I started recognizing how different and unique their shoes were. God immediately brought to my mind how unique and special He made each and every one of us. Psalm...
It's Time!
Let’s keep it simple. In Psalm 37:27 we read, “Turn from evil and do good”. Well, what are you waiting for? Turn! Turn from sin and self, and turn to God and His goodness. That’s it. Plain and simple. “Turn from evil and do good”. You’ll be glad you did....
When you stumble…
Have you seen the Capri Sun commercial with the mom doing everything for her son? (Check out this funny commercial on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDgjJxJp6DQ) The lady cracks me up! This is what many of us parents want to do for our kids, but we know that they...
"Blood is thicker than water."
Family. That is the word that seemed to come to mind when I read Numbers 26:23-65 and Luke 1:57-80 today. I am a blessed girl when it comes to family. I have three older brothers whom I adore. They have given me three godly sister-in-laws, two nieces, and...
Dealing with Drama
Who knows drama better than a girl? Possibly God. “Don’t get upset about evil people. Don’t be jealous of those who do wrong. 2 They are like grass and other green plants that dry up quickly and then die. 3 So trust in the Lord and do good. Live on your land and be...
Go and Tell
Mark 16:15, “He said to them, ‘Go everywhere in the world. Tell the Good News to everyone.’” I am constantly amazed, blessed, and humbled when I see the many places around the world that view soakinguptheson.com. There may be countries that accidentally go on this...
Think before you speak!
I saw a saying today that I have often used to share with others and also remind myself. My former pastor, Dr. Ron Churchill, preached a sermon using this same saying probably about ten years or more. I thought I’d pass it along to you: Before you speak….T.H.I.N.K....
Don’t wait until it’s too late.
Have you ever heard that there was a great sale going on on something you were intrigued by or a concert you have been wanting to see? You thought about it for so long that when you went to go get it, it was either too late or sold out. You missed it! You were...
Born Day
“The Lord made me in the beginning, long before he did anything else. I was formed a long time ago, before the world was made. I was born before there was an ocean, before the springs began to flow.” The perfect set of verses for today! When I was 18 years old I...
First Ever Streaker in the Bible???
Sometimes when I’m reading God’s word, I’m all into the story, and then all of a sudden there’s an imagery that is thrown in there that I was totally NOT expecting. That was the case when reading Mark 14:43-52. The story about when Jesus was arrested is taking...
