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
Was Jesus "in love"?
This weekend I was asked an interesting question. “Did Jesus ever fall ‘in love’ with a woman the way we fall in love with the opposite sex, and have desires like us?” My mind was quick to respond, but heart made me wait and try to put the right words together. In...
Like adding fuel to a fire
Here are my quirky connections for today’s scripture reading in Proverbs 26:20-23: 20 When you run out of wood, the fire goes out; when the gossip ends, the quarrel dies down. We, at the Shuff home, thoroughly enjoy hanging out around the firepit in our backyard. ...
A question from God?
Paul is cracking me up. When I read the book of Philemon (all 25 verses of it) this morning, I had to laugh. I shared some verses with my friend, Susan, and she said what I was thinking. It reminds me of a parent talking to their child saying, “This is what I think...
It was a dark and stormy night…
When my husband first got his iPhone with “Siri” on it we all had fun asking Siri all kinds of crazy questions or giving it commands. One of the kids spoke into the phone and said, “Siri, tell me a story.” So the electronic voice said, “It was a dark and stormy...
Have you had your sweet treat today?
Sweet treats! I love my sweets. I remember when I was growing up my family went to a restaurant that used to be in our town, Golden Corral. You would go through the buffet line for your meal. But I would find myself wondering over to the dessert cart first to enjoy...
Time to vote. Not time to slander.
I found it fitting and also a wee-bit comical this morning when I read Titus 3:1-2. Why? Because this weekend my church is having a prayerful weekend for our state and country as Election Day is approaching. Each of our Sunday school classes signed up to pray at a...
Can you walk the talk?
We can often “talk a good talk”. But can we “walk the walk”? Have you ever asked God for something, but when you receive an answer that you know is from Him, you say, “I don’t think so!” and do just the opposite? Maybe it is not the answer you wanted to hear, or the...
Simple yet Powerful
November! Are you kidding me? This year is almost over. Whew! Just as this year is almost over, the words read in 2 Timothy today are from Paul towards the end of his life. Take a look at the powerful yet simple instructions: "Before God and Jesus Christ, I give you...
Simply Breathe!
Let's continue "Soaking Up The Son" Inhale slowly. Exhale. Inhale through your nose. Exhale through your mouth. Breathe in while counting to four. Breathe out while counting to four. Continue taking deep breaths.You’ve got it! ...
Praying for the NE
Last week (see October 26th) I journaled about starting my exercise routine. Well, I did start tonight, but it wasn’t in the great outdoors. See, for the past two months we have incorporated “No TV Tuesday” in our home. It’s been going great! We have great...
Word
When reading the scriptures outlined by “Walking in the Word’ this morning, the theme of God’s word stood out to me. In Jeremiah 36 we read how the scroll that Jeremiah had spoken words from God to Baruch to scribe down was burned by King Jehoiakim. (Praise God that...
Make this your prayer too:
Psalm 119:73-77, “You made me; you created me. Now give me the sense to follow Your commands.May all who fear You find in me a cause for joy, for I have put my hope in your word. I know, O Lord, that your regulations are fair; you disciplined me because I needed it....
