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.

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
Get Plugged In
Oooo…it feels so good to get plugged in! After our home experienced much electrical difficulties since the lightning strike, I haven’t been able to get onto my computer. Praise the Lord that my brand new laptop wasn’t “plugged in” to its power cord when the lightning...
God's not done with you yet!
Close call! “God is not done with you yet” are the words I told my eldest son, Hunter, on Sunday morning. On Saturday afternoon, Tim and I were in Lakeland for Cole’s football game. The game was supposed to begin at four o’clock. But…due to an injury on the field...
Time to get your Prayer on!
Well, the creators of the movies Courageous, Fireproof, Facing the Giants, and Flywheel have gone and done it again. The Kendrick brothers have produced a film that has made me: think, feel challenged, laugh, cry, encouraged me, and fueled a flame regarding an...
Another Lesson in Parenting and Life!
“Teach the older men to exercise self-control, to be worthy of respect, and to live wisely. They must have sound faith and be filled with love and patience.” Titus 2:2 Whew! The Lord did it again. He pitched a verse to me for me (and my husband, and all of us really,...
Never Give Up….Wakeboard World…Watch out. LOL
This is what happened today: Holly and I were supposed to be at the beach this weekend so she could surf, but things didn’t work out that way. So I thought, “What is something we can do together, that she will love….wakeboard!” Yep, this chic went wakeboarding. And...
Jesus Speaks…Yep, He does.
“Then Jesus came to them and said …” When I read the first seven words of today’s bible verse, I just had to stop and say, “Thank You, Jesus!” Don’t you wish that Jesus would walk right up to you and just start telling you what you need to hear? Think about it. You’re...
Seeking Guidance
This is what the Lord says—your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go.” When I read Isaiah 48:17 this morning I began to pray for God’s guidance in my life and in each...
A Yummy Ending
“To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.” Proverbs 21:3 Last week I misplaced an envelope that contained 18 Tomlin cards. These fundraiser cards were out on consignment, and they cost $15 each. I’ve searched in all locations that I...
A Parenting Reminder:
God rocks! After my journal entry from yesterday (God Gets It), He reminded me this morning of the verse I always cling to regarding my children. Checkout the verse-for-today that was on my biblegateway.com app. Yep, God's cool like that. He reminds me of and through...
God gets it.
God gets it. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, “Parenting isn’t for sissies.” (Oh, I hope you click on that journal entry for some great parenting verses.) I was so grateful this morning when I read Psalm 95. The way I recently felt over a situation with one...
Bread for Life
Order up! Are you hungry? I LOVE bread! When we go out to a restaurant and they provide bread prior to our meal, I must confess that I get a little giddy. I especially enjoy it when the bread is fresh out of the oven and the butter (hmmm…honey butter) just melts when...
Finding in Peace
“God, you give true peace to people who depend on you, to those who trust in you. So (people) trust the Lord always, because in the Lord Yah you have a place of safety forever.” Isaiah 26:3-4 Yesterday Tim and I attended a funeral. We did not know the thirty something...
