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 be average?
The pastor was preaching from 1 Thessalonians 4. When we read the words “even more” in both verses 2 and 10, I reread and made the connection. What are we to do “even more”? We are to love and live even more. This got my curiosity up as to what else we are called to...
Count your blessings
In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 NASB God must have really wanted me to get to church. Have you ever been in a group when someone asks for prayer requests, and hands go up, serious requests are...
Holy Week and the Characteristics of Christ
This week, from Palm Sunday (the Sunday before Easter) to Easter Sunday, is considered Holy Week. To me, as a Christian, Easter Sunday is the most important and exciting holiday. Year after year we hear the story of Easter. As a little girl, sitting in Sunday school...
Life is short. Speak. Be Impactful.
Three lessons I learned this weekend: https://youtu.be/-Qoo0rqvO4Q Life is short.Treasure each moment. How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone. James 4:14 NLT Hearing is the last...
Just Breathe
This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Look! I am going to put breath into you and make you live again! Ezekiel 37:5 NLT Just Breathe! This is exactly what I’ve been doing the past two months while we revive the Soaking up The Son website. Up until mid January, I was...
Don’t Block God
Sometimes I think that the texts I send to my kiddos are blocked because they don’t respond. I pray that today's video encourages you: https://youtu.be/yPAk7vr7uX0 Don’t block God. Listen to Him. Read His word. Obey. Obey, and it will all be okay. But if I see that...
In the midst of the noise
Set your minds on the things that are above, not on the things that are on earth. Colossians 3:2 NASB In my dream I was in a locally owned restaurant. I had noticed a friend on the other side of the room and began having a conversation with them from a distance. It...
Wise words for the birthday boy…HAPPY 20TH, COLE!
The Shuff home no longer has any teenagers. Happy 20th Birthday to our youngest, Cole! I spent the morning looking back at journal entries for Cole’s birthday. Instead of me going on and on about Cole, I thought I'd let The Word describe him. These are verses that...
No matter the age or stage…a book for all ages
When I was a little girl, I was not big on reading. Dancing in the barn, singing in the yard, playing outside all day, playing school with my stuffed animals, and using my imagination in the many forts I had on our property…yes, these were the activities I...
Ain’t Nobody Gonna Steal My Joy!
The past couple of days I’ve been slowly taking down our Christmas decor. I say slowly because as Christmas comes down and the room looks bare, my mind starts planning and I begin rearranging furniture to new locations. Oh!!! That makes me think of this…stay with...
Seek Him Daily
On each page of my new book The Right Road, you are to seek a little ant hidden in the illustrations. I want to encourage you to do the same with God and His goodness each day. Seek Him daily. Keep your God Goggles on and look at life with a godly perspective. Enjoy...
No more Delayed Obedience!
Christmas 2021 was extra special. My delayed obedience was no more! What God had called me to do almost ten years ago was finally done. Quick timeline (sort of): In 2012 is when I first felt God’s nudging and others telling me to write a book. The Soaking Up The Son...
