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.

The older I get the more unwanted hair appear where I really don't care to have them, and most of the time I don’t even realize they are there. It’s not until I look into a magnified mirror that I gasped with a “what the heck” or “oh no” comment to myself. Why didn’t...

In the verses read today, the example of marriage is used. So, how could I  not use this photo of my man. Right now, I pray for your earthly marriage, or the marriage-to-be in your life, that it is centered around Jesus Christ. If you are still single, don’t settle....

You don’t want to miss the call.

When my husband went on a trip six time zones away, I noticed that when it was around the time that he were to be calling me, I had my phone on or near me at all times, prepared to answer when Tim called. I didn’t want to miss a call. One afternoon, while I was...
