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
Just three things to say:
I just want to say three points after reading today’s scriptures: Praise God that He is a gracious and compassionate Lord! I think back at the various times in my life when God totally showed me His graciousness and compassion. He could have torn my tail up...
A thorn in my side
Have you ever heard the expression “_____ is like a thorn in my side.”? Your fill-in-the-blank may be a job, person, or any type of situation that is causing difficulty for you at that time. Years ago, while at the beach, Cole was running on the dock barefoot. While...
Get your opera on…
I read Isaiah 9:6-7 today and got a little giddy and even started singing in a beautiful operatic voice with various harmonies joining me (in my mind of course) the words penned. Take a look: For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be...
Work, work, work
“Don’t wear yourself out trying to get rich. Be wise enough to know when to quit. 5 In the blink of an eye wealth disappears, for it will sprout wings and fly away like an eagle.” Proverbs 23:4-5 Are you a workaholic? I was just looking up statistics and information...
Think it….Act on it.
Yesterday a friend sent me a message after reading yesterday’s journaling. Here’s our conversation: Friend: Your posts definitely make one think… what one does with that is up to them. You have no reason to 'feel bad'. Me: Thanks. 🙂 They make me think too. Lol...
I felt bad…Now I don't.
Sometimes when I journal something I think, “Ouch! Should I have written that?” But then God assures me that when I pray to Him each morning for Him to speak to me and through me, that’s what He does. It’s not me, it’s God. Much of the journaling that may convict...
"Passionately" speaking…
You want a romance and passion in your marriage? Read and live out the book of the bible, Song of Songs. You just might find yourself blushing when reading that book. I hear women talking negative about their man. Putting their spouse down, possibly without even...
Growing old on the outside…
I had to laugh when I read Ecclesiastes 12:1-4 yesterday. I copied it into my journaling notes to write about later. I read it aloud to Holly and she said, “The bible tells it like it is doesn’t it? It doesn’t hold back.” Check this out: The Problems of Old Age...
“A little birdie told me.”
Here it is! You’ve heard the phrase people say when you ask “How did you hear this or that?”. They often say with a grin, “A little birdie told me.” Did you know that that saying actually comes from the bible? Believe it! I cracked up when I read Ecclesiastes...
Life is not fair!
Life is not fair. We’ve heard it time and time again. This weekend I have witnessed this saying in action. Friday afternoon, on my way home from work, I was at a stop sign just one block from my home. There were a couple of cars in front of me and a few behind me. ...
"Aha-ness"
Teaching is a rewarding job. I love seeing those moments of “Ahaness” on the students’ faces when they discover something new. This past week I gave a homework assignment that I knew we hadn’t discussed much in class. We started off the week by learning multiplying...
Rely on Him
Today’s scriptures were another set of those verses that I could just camp on all day, reread, and “marinate” in (as my dear friend and associate pastor, Tommy Warnock, often says). I love God’s word! One of the many lessons that God reminded me of today is that...
