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
A decision has been made.
I’ve made to a hard decision. Throughout all my scripture reading this morning, it was on the forefront of my mind (Except when I read the verses in Esther. Oh, please, go read those verses in “Walking in the Word” today. Drama!! Twists and turns! God’s hand on...
There's a reason.
It is unusual for the different translations I read of the bible to have the exact wording for scripture. I was so hoping this to be not true of one particular verse that I love. I just knew that when I turned to The Message translation that it would read something...
Shakin' up Scripture
Okay, please read these four areas of scripture, then I’ll break it down to my thoughts: “On the seventh day of the party, the king, high on the wine, ordered the seven eunuchs who were his personal servants (Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, Abagtha, Zethar, and...
LBR
FINALLY! There’s a verse to show the doctors when I go get my physical. I knew it! See, look at Proverbs 20:23b: “It is wrong to use scales that are not accurate.” When I hop on the scales to determine my weight, it’s usually a little higher number than I thought...
It's yours. Take care of it.
“If your wealth was easy to get, it will not be worth much to you.” Proverbs 20:21 I can so relate to this. Back when I started having to pay for things on my own (many, many years ago), I took better care of my purchases. I’ve noticed the same scenario happening...
How to live a transformed life:
Here’s a list of what your transformed life should look like according to Romans 12:9-21: 1. Your love must be real. Hate what is evil. 2. Do only what is good. 3. Love each other. 4. Don’t be selfish. 5. Serve the Lord. 6. Work hard and don’t...
Don't mistake kindness for weakness
Last week was Open House for all my kids’ schools, including mine. Hunter, a junior, and Holly, a freshman, share two of the same teachers even though they are different classes at different times. (It will be interesting for me as a parent to hear the perception...
Don't forget your manners or password
“Did you forget your password?” We see this all the time on the computer when you are attempting to login to an account. I have so many passwords for different accounts; I do often “forget my password”. Just this past week, when I returned back to school, I had...
You choose.
It is not through being a good citizen, working hard to get to heaven, treating people with kindness, following rules, etc. that makes you right with God. All this is great! But, these actions don’t seal the deal for you to live forever with Christ in Heaven. What...
The Pressure is on.
The pressure is on. Things need to get done. You are capable of accomplishing the task, but can feel opposition all around you. What do you do? This was the scenario in Nehemiah chapter 4, and I’m pretty sure you’ve felt this way a time or two also. I have. In...
Who's your Superhero?
Another fantastic day in God’s word! Can I be your Barnabas right now and encourage you to go read the scriptures in “Walking in the Word” now? Oh please! When I read Romans 8:26-9:5 I wanted to do a little “happy dance”. I did, in my mind (My body was too tired. ...
Do I go back to Guatemala?
Wow! Today was another awesome day of reading in God’s word. In each of the four sections I could think of a something on my heart to journal about. I need to just stay home from work (just my second day back) and write with God all day. Oh, okay, to work I must...
