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.

Daily Walking with God
Problems to Peace
God’s gone and done it again! THANK YOU, JESUS, for putting me in my place! Yesterday was one of those days like the children’s book I used to read to my second graders: Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Days, only it was “Stephanie’s...
The Sweet Sound of Pages being Turned…
For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope. Romans 15:4 One of my favorite sounds is to hear the pages of the bible being turned as...
Slow Down
He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;” Psalm 46:10 Well, tis the season…of busyness…I mean of counting out blessings and being grateful. Why? Why do we get our selves all in a tizzy over trivial matters in life? We need to be reminded to slow down and do what...
Speak, without saying a word.
What is it about this song that just gets to me? I can remember driving to pick up one of my children from elementary school (and that’s been YEARS ago), hearing Mercy Me’s “Word of God Speak” come across my radio, and I just start singing right along with them,...
He is limitless!
I’ve been quiet on my journaling, but God still speaks volumes to me. (Praise the Lord!) Renovating a home has been a process of renovating my heart as well. We are EXACTLY one week away until we close on the sale of the home which my husband AND children were raised...
Be changed from the inside out.
STOP! Stop trying to be someone you’re not. Stop comparing yourself to others. START! Start allowing GOD to change the way you think about yourself. Start learning, knowing, and believing that God’s will for you is perfect and best for you. Don’t take it from me, read...
Nashville had me like…
I could say that studying God’s word has me like…. Or renovating a home and in the middle of living between two homes AND sleeping on the floor AND eating dinners out AND not having my convenient washer and dryer at my beckon call AND…has me like…. Both of these...
25 years and counting.
At this time (8:30pm) twenty-five years ago, Tim and I were on our way to stay our honeymoon night at the luxurious hotel, The Breakers in Palm Beach, Florida, before departing the next day for a cruise. I can recount many memorable moments that trip, but the memories...
My Prayer for you:
This is my prayer for you: that your love will grow more and more; that you will have knowledge and understanding with your love; 10 that you will see the difference between what is important and what is not and choose what is important; that you will be pure and...
“Houses don’t have memories, people do.”
Well, today is the day. This journey began back in November 2014 when we first signed the contract what was possibly going to be our future homeland. Then, this peaceful acreage and home actually became ours on the last day of August 2015. Almost TWO YEARS later…today...
No Worries
God either has a great sense of humor, is whispering in my ear, shouting in my psyche, or most likely all three this morning when I read today’s scripture. “What you should want most is God’s kingdom and doing what he wants you to do. Then he will give you all these...
Who will you follow?
This past weekend Tim was in north Florida and Holly and I went to Georgia. We timed our return home so we could meet at an exit, have Holly ride with her dad so they could visit before she abruptly had to get back to college once we were home, and then follow each...
