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.

Worship God honorably, not hypocritically

Have you ever heard or used the terms, “My life is in the dumps?” or when you’ve made a decision only to realize later it led you to “feel like crap”? Well, those are the thoughts that came to mind when I read Malachi 2:3. I had to laugh at the writing, because the...

God doesn’t want your leftovers

If the President of the United States was coming to your home for dinner, would you open your refrigerator and feed him your leftovers? I imagine you would prepare an exceptional meal, maybe your favorite meal, and display it on the finest set of dishes you had...

“What shall I DO to get into heaven?”

“What shall I DO to get into heaven?”

“What shall I DO to get into heaven?" This was the question posed by the rich young ruler in Mark 10:17-27.  17 As Jesus was starting out on his way to Jerusalem, a man came running up to him, knelt down, and asked, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal...

What’s your word?

For I fully expect and hope that I will never be ashamed, but that I will continue to be bold for Christ, as I have been in the past. And I trust that my life will bring honor to Christ, whether I live or die. Philippians 1:20 Do you have a word for the year? In the...

We can learn something for the mouths of babes.

We can learn something for the mouths of babes.

Sharing Jesus brings me joy. Period. Sharing Jesus with children brings laughter, struggles, and beautiful insight. You never know what children are going to say when you ask a question to a large group. Their boldness and naiveness often bring laughter. The laughter...

Do you need a new perspective?

Do you need a new perspective?

Do you need a new perspective? Perspective is one of huge words for me. I often call it putting on my “God goggles”.  In the story of Zacchaeus in Luke 19, verse four stuck with me today. So he ran to a place where he knew Jesus would come. Then he climbed a sycamore...
