Soaking up the Son
God is alive and active. He uses every day experiences to reveal Himself to us. See what simple or crazy life lessons God reveals to me. Challenge yourself to see, speak with, and listen to God daily.

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
Why lie?
Just don’t lie to me! Can I please vent for a moment? I usually don’t, but there is a lesson to be learned here. We all make mistakes. I know that. I make them every day. But when you bluntly lie to me, that hurts. Simple fact, “they” don’t make shorts like they...
Put a filter on your mouth.
“That person has no filter on their mouth.” Have you ever heard this about someone, yourself, or even said it regarding someone you know? I have all three. I’ve heard someone describe another person in this way. My husband sometimes reminds me that I explain things...
Chasing Dreams
I read a quote that said, “If you never chase your dream, you will never catch it.” Do you have aspirations in life? I hope so. Yesterday on the morning show at my school they were talking to the students about setting goals regarding our state assessment, the FCAT. ...
Shortest blog ever & 1 bizarre holiday…
Three things for today: 1) Praise God as long as you live. 2) Meditate on His word. 3) Don’t be a nagger. Wah wah wah. Blessings to you! BTW, for today's bizarre holiday....it's National Trail Mix Day. Go grab your best recipe and make some with family and...
Sea Life…God Life
The ocean is brimming with all kinds of magnificent creatures. The numerous colors, variety of fish and plants, interesting creatures we never have seen the likes of on land, and “glowy” things amazes me. And my view is only so deep when underwater. God has so much...
A lighter note.
Ahhh, my heart has been lightened. After writing the first journaling this morning, my heart felt heavy and prayerful. When I went on to Facebook to upload the web address, I was happy to see that a friend had responded to an ongoing message that a group of us have...
Don't be speechless
Warning: my bluntness and the topic of incest. Incest: sexual activity between two people who are considered, for moral or genetic reasons, too closely related to have such a relationship. That is the definition of incest according to the Encarta Dictionary on my...
Vandalizing is wrong.
When I drive by a large wall, building, or any structure that someone has so ignorantly vandalized, my heart is saddened. I see gang signs painted on places, and I wonder why. Why ruin a perfectly and probably intentional structure? What type of satisfaction does...
I have a solid foundation. What about you?
I live in Florida where we are subjected to hurricanes. Praise God we were spared by the most recent tropical storm, Isaac. (I’m praying for Louisiana as they await the impact of it possibly becoming a hurricane before landfall.) Due to our location and experience...
Dive on in!
I just don’t even know what to write right now. Really. I’m reading Job, but saving his story to tell you of “Job’s Journey” at one time. When I read 1 Corinthians I just want to say “Amen.” “Yes, preach it.” “Amen!” Put my hands in the air and praise Jesus for...
You is… He is….
"You is kind. You is smart. You is important." Is one of the famous lines from the movie “The Help”. (I loved it!) Holly and I embraced that phrase right away. I even sent those words to her on the first day of school along with a bible verse for encouragement. When...
That "PEEPING" sound!
This morning, beginning at 3:45 (!!!) the smoke alarm our hallway started to “peep”. Only this “peep” sounded more like “PEEP” in the wee hours of the day. It wasn’t peeping because there was smoke or a fire, but a warning that the battery was low. I laid there a...
