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
Wise words for the birthday boy…HAPPY 20TH, COLE!
The Shuff home no longer has any teenagers. Happy 20th Birthday to our youngest, Cole! I spent the morning looking back at journal entries for Cole’s birthday. Instead of me going on and on about Cole, I thought I'd let The Word describe him. These are verses that...
No matter the age or stage…a book for all ages
When I was a little girl, I was not big on reading. Dancing in the barn, singing in the yard, playing outside all day, playing school with my stuffed animals, and using my imagination in the many forts I had on our property…yes, these were the activities I...
Ain’t Nobody Gonna Steal My Joy!
The past couple of days I’ve been slowly taking down our Christmas decor. I say slowly because as Christmas comes down and the room looks bare, my mind starts planning and I begin rearranging furniture to new locations. Oh!!! That makes me think of this…stay with...
Seek Him Daily
On each page of my new book The Right Road, you are to seek a little ant hidden in the illustrations. I want to encourage you to do the same with God and His goodness each day. Seek Him daily. Keep your God Goggles on and look at life with a godly perspective. Enjoy...
No more Delayed Obedience!
Christmas 2021 was extra special. My delayed obedience was no more! What God had called me to do almost ten years ago was finally done. Quick timeline (sort of): In 2012 is when I first felt God’s nudging and others telling me to write a book. The Soaking Up The Son...
Being a Christian doesn’t mean that life will be cozy and comfortable.
The photos of the airbnb are of a crisp and adorable South Carolina coastal cottage. This brand new cottage had all the smells of newness. A bag of cookies, chocolates, and mints welcomed us, as they were nestled under the cutest little christmas tree on the quaint...
Be refreshed and have complete assurance
With my whole heart, with my whole life, and with my innermost being, I bow in wonder and love before you, the holy God! Yahweh, you are my soul’s celebration. How could I ever forget the miracles of kindness you’ve done for me? You kissed my heart with forgiveness,...
We Believe! Merry Christmas!
Oh how I can so vividly remember the anticipation of Christmas morning. Waking up all hours of the night to try to get a peek of Santa was one of my specialties. One night, my feet would quietly tiptoe out of my bedroom, down the hall, and through the kitchen and...
A time to reflect
The calm after the storm. This past weekend was our Parker/Bassett family Christmas. This storm seems to blow in and then leave too quickly. You may say, “that’s not a storm.” A couple definitions of a storm is a sudden commotion or a tumultuous outburst. This storm...
Be Engaging!
Be engaged. Holly and I had been exploring the beauty of Bok Tower Gardens in Lake Wales, Florida. We stood about 324 feet above sea level. It is one of the highest points of land measured in Florida. The scenery is very tranquil. Overlooking the land in our view,...
Are you searching for something?
Everyone is searching for something. It could be as mundane as searching for your keys, or as catastrophic as the recent deadly tornado incident and people are searching for loved ones, their home, or just a sense of peace. Can we just pause right here to pray for all...
You are awesome!
Awesome and Wonderful I will give thanks to You, because I am awesomely and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well. Psalm 139:14 NASB Tim and I were recently walking our country road on a foggy morning. There were dozens of spider...
