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 godly Father
You’re a good good father. The man the God placed in my life 31 years ago who made me laugh, feel secure, was a stud (*wink*truth*), and loved me is still with me today. (Twenty-five awesome years of marriage approaching in October) Now, fast forward all these years,...
How to Cope with Grief
What an emotional week we’ve had, not only for my home state, but for our country, and world as well. Terror has struck across our land. My heart aches. God’s heart aches. Yesterday I had a conversation with a gentleman about the recent events that have taken place in...
Don't just think positive, think godly.
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. Psalm 19:14 You’ve often heard someone say, “Think positive thoughts”. I’m all for thinking positive. But this morning, while I was praying for someone to...
Happy Birthday, Holly Anne
Today is Holly’s 18th Birthday. She actually has written on our refrigerator calendar, beside the month of June, “Holly’s Month”. She didn’t write “Holly’s Month” only because of her birthday, but she graduated, turns 18, has orientation at her new school, moves in to...
To God be the Graduation Glory
The Sovereign Lord is my strength! He makes me as surefooted as a deer, able to tread upon the heights. Habakkuk 3:19 Give credit where credit is due. God’s power and awesomeness is recognized in chapter 3 of the book of Habakkuk. The prophet Habakkuk doesn’t only...
You've Got The Power!
Y’all, this is good stuff! First of all, whew!...what a weekend! I’ve attended graduation parties, driven five hours (one way) to see the beautifully God-filled wedding of my nephew and drove back home (five more hours) in one day, rose early Sunday morning to honor...
Peace…Just what the Great Physician ordered.
God gave me the right verse for the right time. He's so like that! Just what I needed this morning. Thank you, Lord, for bringing peace during ALL seasons, in every way, at just the right time. I love you! I pray that you will enjoy soaking up The Son every...
The Struggle is Real
The Struggle is real. The struggle of: Watching a loved one die of cancer Not finding your passion in life for a job Not having a job Fighting to keep the love alive in your marriage Getting hurt over a/any relationship Going through divorce Trying to find how to live...
High On Lovin' You
The country music group Florida Georgia Line’s latest single is called H.O.L.Y.. It is a powerful ballad. The other day I heard one person say that they don’t like the song because they are talking about a woman and not God. True, but here’s my take on it: You must...
Trust Issues
The other day I was scrolling through the Facebook feed. I noticed that one of my friends had participated in one of those surveys that analyzes your profile (according to FB) and comes up with some determining result. This analyzation had to deal with a biblical word...
Get Busy…You have a job to do.
You and I have a job to do. Just because you become a Christian doesn’t mean that you will have the perfect life (at least not yet…Heaven is near). It doesn’t imply that we will always do or say the right thing, act in a loving manner, and never have evil thoughts....
With Freedom Comes Much Responsibility
Holly and I had a great afternoon eating an early dinner and strolling the streets of her college town and campus. My tummy is full yet my heart is fuller. I can’t wait to see what God has planned for Holly. As we walked the sidewalks of the beautiful downtown and...
