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
Do you have the "Gimmies"?
Proverbs 30:15, “A leech has twin daughters named “Gimme” and “Gimme more.”’ This was the first verse I read this morning. Wow! What a familiar sound at this time of year. “Gimmie. Gimmie. Gimmie.” Do you have the “gimmies”? Give me more toys, clothes, time,...
Are you listening?
“Lord, you are my God. Lord, listen to my prayer.” Psalm 140:6 When I read this I just had to stop and think…. “It’s funny how we want God to listen to our prayers, but how many times does He really want to say to us, ‘Hey, child of mine, listen to Me.’” That’s it! ...
Do you deny your need for God?
Proverbs 30:7-9, “God, I ask you to do two things for me before I die. 8 Don’t let me tell lies. And don’t make me too rich or too poor—give me only enough food for each day. 9 If I have too much, I might deny that I need you, Lord. But if I am too poor, I might steal...
A special way to start the day.
What a day! I woke up excited to begin reading God’s word, and He definitely did not disappoint. Really. I could feel the presence of God all around me this morning when I sat to open the bible (well, the online bible that is). A peaceful smile came over my face and...
Do you think about God?
A few years ago I was lying on a beach on the island of Anegada, BVI. The texture of the sand was unlike anything I had ever felt before. The colors of the sand were astonishing! Coral, yellow, green, blue, black, white, etc. were all there in the palm of my hand. ...
You can run, but you can't hide.
Little children are precious. I’ve taught children’s Sunday school, choir, and VBS, and assisted my children’s pastor in Children’s Church. To see and hear about God through a child’s view just puts a smile on my face and in my heart. Last Sunday, after church, I...
Are you "wishy-washy"?
I LOVE the story in Daniel about Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Their strong conviction and belief in God and how He saved them from the fiery furnace, without even the smell of smoke on their clothes, always encourages, humbles, and amazes me. Especially this time...
He will answer when you call.
You know what drives me crazy? When I know someone has their cell phone on and they don’t answer. (I’m not mentioning any names…Hunter, Holly, and Tim) There have been times that any of the aforementioned culprits have sent me a text, and I’ve immediately called...
Is it Valentine's Day?
28-33 times in 15 verses. Is it Valentine’s Day and I missed it? Oh, no, it’s just an ordinary day for God. I just read fifteen verses in 1 John and, depending on the translation, read the word “love” twenty-eight to thirty-three times! Do the math. That’s about...
Who and Whose are you?
Just about every time my son, Hunter, gets ready to go out with his friends, I say to him, “Remember who you are and Whose you are.” He either raises his eyebrows as if saying “I’ve got it” or verbally says, “I know, mom.” Who is he, and who are we (Christians)? We...
Enticed?
This past weekend I made something I haven’t made in a while. It was a homemade red velvet cake. Mmmmmm. It tasted good the day of, but the next day, after being cooled in the refrigerator all night, and letting the cream cheese, butter, and sugar to all blend...
10% goes to "Church at the Park". Blessings!
Have I told you lately how cool God is? Well, God is so cool!! Follow me on this one: Yesterday (Thursday) my sweet neighbor, Donna, sent me a text asking if I would like to have a Silpada Jewelry catalogue party. “Catalogue party” was the ticket for me. ...
