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
We ain't seen nothin' yet!
Do you think that God gives us the things we love on earth so that He can say, “Ha! Just wait! You love this? You have no idea what is in store for you!” I’m beginning to think so when I read Revelation 21. There are a couple of things mentioned in Revelation 21...
Lazy? Don't be!
Okay, yesterday I was saying that I am NOT the Proverbs 31 woman, but today I was giving her a run for her money. Yea, yea, I’m tootin’ my own horn. But the scripture goes so well with the scene today. This morning I woke up late, after staying up late watching...
Face tomorrow with a smile.
The Proverbs 31 woman often exhausts me. Really. “Really?” is a question I often say when reading all the things that woman accomplished. She is a dream come true for every man. I will confess…I am NOT the Proverbs 31 woman. Whew! Pressure is off. But, I must...
Four goals for the New Year
Haggai 1:5b, “Take a good, hard look at your life. Think it over.” As the year is coming to an end, this is a statement that we all should take into account. Holly and I were driving to the mall today and she told me about a New Year’s Resolution she is making for...
Packing up Baby Jesus
Well, tonight the Christmas décor came down in the Shuff home. Packing baby Jesus away in the trunk always seems so sad, and wrong. I do have one nativity scene I purchased while on a mission trip to Guatemala that I leave up all year in my “travel” décor room, but...
"That's My Boy!"
Psalm 147:4, “He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name.” When I read this verse today it reminded me of a question Cole asked while driving home last night from the family Christmas Eve gathering. He inquired, “Mom, which star is it we need...
Keep Calm and Hum On
When I start humming it is for many reasons. I hum when I’m happy, sad, mad, whenever. Humming a happy tune calms me and puts me in a better, or even better, mood. My family knows that when I start humming the song “Oh How I love Jesus” that momma needs to take...
Do you need sifting?
This morning I woke up with my “To Do List” on my mind. One thing I want to accomplish today is to make some molasses cookies. Yes, you heard it right, not chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, peanut butter, or sugar cookies, but molasses cookies. These aren’t just any...
How do you measure up?
God doesn’t make junk. He doesn’t do things half way. God is perfect and makes all things with His perfection. So why do we have so much “crookedness” in the world? Hmmmm…that would be on us. In Amos 7:7 this morning I read, “Then he showed me another vision. I saw...
God woke me up early today.
God woke me up about an hour earlier this morning. My first thought was, “Ugh.” My second thought was, “Okay, Lord, please give me a good thirty minute power nap and give me strength for my day.” My final thought was, “Oh, fiddlesticks, just get up, drink a...
Tears
When I read Revelation 7:17 today, I couldn’t help but not think about the horrific tragedy the people of the state of Connecticut have suffered recently. Why? Is a simple yet complex question that is on the minds of many. We don’t know why, except it appears that...
You are all I need.
“Lord, I cry out to you for help: ‘You are my place of safety. You are all I need in life.’” Psalm 142:5 David wrote these words when he was in danger and in a cave. But when I read the words, “Lord, You are all I need.” I sank in my chair a bit and felt the...
