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.

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
Revisiting…
2/24/13 When I read Psalm 26:2-3 this morning I knew that these were some favorites of mine that I journaled about last year at this time (2/24/12). Here's the link to revisit just what I would probably say today too. https://soakinguptheson.com/2012/02/24/ Blessings...
Just because you can’t see it, doesn’t mean that it’s not there.
This past weekend Tim and I had the privilege of staying at some friends’ condo on the beach. I asked the owner, Bill, if they go over and stay at their place much. He told me a story about when he and his middle daughter, Hailey, went over early one morning to their...
Black and White, or Grey?
Are you one of those people who see things as black and white in life or do you tend to see lots of grey? Mark 3:4-5, "Then Jesus asked the people, 'Which is the right thing to do on the Sabbath day: to do good or evil? Is it right to save a life or to destroy one?'...
Lessons from ants
When I read Proverbs 6:6 I couldn’t help but take a trip down memory lane. When I was growing up, my cousin/best friend and I would walk her long dirt road and search for ants. It didn’t take long to find an ant pile. We would stop, stare, and be amazed by their...
A Little R&R
All I can say right now about Leviticus 4 is…“Thank You, Lord, that all I have to do to be forgiven from my sins is repent to you.” The routine that the Israelites went through…Eeew! Now that I think about it, for some people, saying “I’m sorry” or “Please forgive me”...
Instant Gratification
Mark 1:16-18, “As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. 17 “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” 18 At once they left their nets and...
Read with anticipation.
Yes! I couldn’t wait to read the bible this morning. I opened the scriptures up with anticipation. Since I’m reading the bible through in a year, I knew where today’s reading was going. If you want a good jump start to your day, open up Matthew 28. Here are some...
Get intoxicated!
Get intoxicated! What? That’s right. You heard me. Go get drunk. Just not on what you think. Go get drunk on love! Chapter five of Proverbs talks about “The Wisdom of Avoiding Adultery”. This topic is rampant in our society. It breaks my heart every time I hear...
Wood/Jesus-filler
Wood Filler. This weekend I enlisted my step-dad to help me make a project. This project is going to help keep my family organized in a very visual way. At least I hope it will help. I had envisioned a large, yet attractive, cork/chalkboard message...
Not the committee for me.
When I read Matthew 27:1, “Early in the morning, all the chief priests and the elders of the people made their plans how to have Jesus executed.” my heart sank. Now I have gotten up early to read my bible, go for a walk, go fishing, and venture off on a vacation. ...
You're not alone
Have you ever felt misunderstood, abandoned by family or friends, or alone? Well, Jesus knows exactly how you feel. He’s been there, done that. (Just read Matthew 26) Just know that when you go through a season where you feel this way, you are never alone. In...
He's loved you since the get-go.
On a day that “LOVE is in the air”, I want to share this verse that I found comforting and just fell in LOVE with: Psalm 22:10, “I was thrust into your arms at my birth. You have been my God from the moment I was born.” Just the picture of being thrust into the arms...
