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
Surround yourself with amazing people…like me!
“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” Proverbs 27:17 I am so blessed to work with some amazing people! We’ve had a few changes this year with some taking a leave, working at a different time, or newbees coming to join us. But no matter the changes...
Do you need some peace?
Thank You, Lord! He always knows the right verse or life experience to show me when I’m either about to, in the middle of, or have just past a situation. Yesterday I came home from work and Tim told me something that right away I began praying for. Several times...
My boys…They are mine!
Yesterday my man sent me this picture. When I first saw it I had a tremendous smile and thought to myself, “I LOVE this photo for so many reasons. But I especially love it because these boys are mine!” They are mine. As soon as I said that I imagined God looking down...
Give Him Your All
I’m pretty confident that you’ve heard and/or said the words, “It’s better to give than to receive.” Well, the first person to have said that was Jesus. Paul wrote in Acts 20:35 “…remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to...
A Great Love Song
What a precious and gentle reminder I read this morning. It was a beautiful way to start my day and put a smile on my face and a song in my heart. “By day the Lord directs his love, at night his song is with me.” Psalm 42:8 (NIV) “But each day the Lord pours his...
OVERcome that OVERwhelimg feeling.
Get OVER it! Do you ever, or often, get the feeling that you are OVERwhelmed? I know I have plenty of times before. But, now let’s change the feeling of being OVERwhelmed to the accomplishment of having OVERcomed. This morning I woke up to God’s beautiful reminder: “I...
Capturing the Moments
On our first official day out on our new property we had a doe and a fawn greeting us in our backyard. Precious! Cole was riding the four-wheeler, Tim was riding the mower, Hunter was shooting guns with a buddy, Holly joined us for dinner after work, and I was...
Give it all you've got!
Quick thought: The other day I detailed my vehicle inside and out. I love putting some sweat into something and being satisfied with my work. There were a few marks on it where someone had dinged it in a parking lot. At first I wasn’t sure if the marks could be...
Bloom Where You Are Planted
Well, the Shuff family is on a new adventure. No, not the normal adventures we partake in where it requires boats, planes, and automobiles to a different place for a short vacation. Nah, this adventure will require four-wheelers, a tractor, and a short car ride...
Find Peace in the Journey of Life
Okay, I’m no interpreter of dreams, but when I woke up early this morning, I just couldn’t go back to sleep. I had a dream, and my thoughts were trying to decipher what I had just envisioned. My eyes are filled with tears as I type just thinking about the dream and...
Reign on!
We have been experiencing a wet few days here in Florida. But no matter the weather, one thing will always remain... My God will REIGN forever and ever!
Get Your Shine On
“You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. 15 No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your good deeds shine...
