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
It Happens…A Changed Life
Wow! What a mighty God we serve. I see people that I knew years ago and remember the life they used to live. CrAzY!! Now, years have gone by and their lives are completely changed. Some are preachers or married to one, some are dedicated Christians and enjoy serving...
Grateful for the Small Things in Life.
The smallest of things, bring back some of the greatest memories. Last night I opened my bathroom drawer to find a hair tie. The one I grabbed was a simple, grey, no-tangle hair tie that Holly and I were given before we took our family hike up Runyon Canyon in Los...
Reservation Required
“We have a priceless inheritance—an inheritance that is kept in heaven for you, pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of change and decay.” 1 Peter 1:4 Last night I felt like I got a small glimpse of what Heaven will be like. You see, a dear friend of mine, Billie Jo,...
The Story is Coming Soon…Virginity.
I can’t WAIT! About two weeks ago God had laid it on my heart to write a piece about purity, specifically virginity. I’ve ask readers to share their story with me. I am so excited when I read each shared story via Facebook messaging, text, letters, and conversations....
How Freeing!
I have been asking and hinting for the past few years (seriously!) for a cd by Francesca Battistelli. I’ve heard her on Christian, Pop, and Country music radio stations for years, and it seems that every time I say to myself, “I like that song” or “I like this...
I've Got Spirit…How 'Bout You?
Yesterday was a wonderful day! My family celebrated one of my nephew’s wedding (more on that later), and the Gators beat Tennessee. This family was rejoicing! On our trip to and from Georgia this weekend I’d notice many cars, trucks, campers, folks at the gas stations...
There's JOY in Giving
“Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.” Luke 6:38 I measured, melted, poured, stirred, and put in the oven…The aroma filled...
Various Emotions of JOY
Joy can come in many forms of emotion. Over the past couple of days, while I’ve been focusing on my word-of-the-week (JOY), I have had joyful emotions in various forms. Joy through laughter: Cole and I were on our way to school. We were behind a brand new/fast car...
Be nice.
“Christ accepted you, so you should accept each other. This will bring honor to God.” Romans 15:7 When I read this verse I feel as if Paul was saying this in a “there you go” attitude. As if he spoke into the microphone and dropped it at the end as a statement. Think...
More JOY!
JOY…The word-of-the-week. Let’s keep this rolling. You have all filled my heart with JOY with precious messages you sent saying how the post yesterday (Got joy? Want joy?) was just what you needed to hear. You have no idea what that means to me. As long as one person...
Got JOY? Want JOY?
The word JOY keeps creeping into conversations lately. So, why not make this our word-of-the-week. Earlier this school year a new employee at my school was feeling overwhelmed (as we all tend to do during those days of pre-planning). They mentioned that they felt like...
Watch Your Mouth!
“Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.” Ephesians 4:29 It’s been a while since my family has participated in Little League sports (Youth sports…yes. ‘Little...
