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.

Don't take advantage of God.
“I can do what I want, and then just ask for forgiveness. God will forgive me. I’m a Christian.” Seriously? Don’t take advantage of God. This is truly the thought of some people. They go with the thought of, “It’s easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask...
A prayer to share:
I was so excited the other day when I received a certain letter in the mail. It will be one that I treasure, and I want to share with you all. My friend, Susan, has three grown and beautiful inside and out daughters. Her and her husband, Bill, have done well...

Busyness…Be still.
Last week was a week of busyness. Each day was the same routine: super early mornings, jam-packed days, and long eventful nights. I knew what was going to happen, and it did. The moment I finally stopped to rest (on day five) the throat started to feel sore. The...
Are you a God's Girl or God's Man?
Oh my! As soon as I read today’s scripture in Galatians 2, I closed my eyes, threw my head back, and started singing (in my scratchy, sore throat voice) the song that mimics verses 20 and 21. Hear, listen: ...
Who are you trying to impress?
Do you worry about how you look? Is your hair in style, should you wear makeup or not & what kind, or are your clothes the “in” brand? What about the vehicle you drive? Does it matter what color it is, how big the tires are, or how fast it will go? Do you often...
