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

Fill up and indulge

Bread and meat…now those are two requirements for my kind of meal.  In Exodus 29 I was reading about the ordination ceremony for Aaron and his sons.  When I came upon Exodus 29:33, it was either my mind or my stomach decided to camp on this verse. It may be a stretch,...

Just put them away!

“I’m Trying” That’s the name of a new section I’m going to be posting in every now and then. I guess I’m a little late on New Year’s resolutions, but the instances that I’ll be writing about don’t just pop into my mind on January first.  Usually when I made NY’s...

"Bite your tongue!"

Two weeks ago I was chewing a piece of gum. Out of nowhere my tongue must have gotten mistaken for my gum and I chomped down on it.  Ouch!!!! I bent down, put my hands on my knees, and went “hmmmmm” as I felt the pain. My tongue was swelling and bleeding.  Last week,...

The Gravel Road Scar

Do you have scars?  I have plenty. Some scars are visible, and some are not.  But, each scar can tell a story. One of the scars on my leg tells the story about the time I was about eleven years old.  I was riding my bike down our country road.  I had gotten cocky and...

Trust in God

“Trust Fall”. Have you ever heard of it?   I cried I laughed so hard when I saw a video clip a couple of years back that our local high schoolers did for their morning show.  Students would walk up to random teachers, administrators, and other students and quickly...

Are you with me?

Sometimes before my eldest drives away to his destination I remind him of a few road rules.  Hunter’s reply is most often, “I know mom.  I’m not going to get into an accident.”  Then my wide-eye reply is always to that statement, “You don’t know when you are going to...

God's Requirements

Okay, here I go.  I’m going to hopefully intertwine parts from all four scripture readings form today.  Stay with me on this. In Exodus I read about The Ten Commandments.  These are not suggestions for us to pick and choose from or to use when it is convenient for...

Lemons or Lemonade?

The complaint department line at I-Mart (Israelite-Mart) is much worse than the days after Christmas at Wal-Mart’s service center. Those Old Testament Israelites drive me crazy. “Wah. Wah. Wah.” seems to be all they can do. What a bunch of whiners!  One miracle after...

The Perfect Way

I remember walking in the dense woods (at many ages, young and old) and having some type of tool in my hand to clear the way.  If the path was not cleared, I, and whoever else was behind me, could have possibly gotten trapped in or tripped on the tangled vines. Its...

I "think" a lot.

This morning I unplugged my phone and the date February 4 appeared on my screen in a large font.  I thought to myself, “Ten more days until Valentine’s Day.”  I actually resorted back to my second grade teaching days and also thought about, “Add a one to the tens...
