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
I was deceived. Ugh!
Can you make out what is wrong with this picture? Yes, this is just wrong! You see, we keep a ceramic bowl full of M&Ms® on our counter top for those moments when you’ve just gotta have a little taste of chocolate. When I reached into this bowl of goodies and...
Hold on!
Get a grip! When my children were young they would hold my hand for various reasons. Maybe when crossing the street, walking through a parking lot, when in a crowd, or maybe just because. Each moment I’d cherish because I knew that when they grew up the “hand...
O death, where is your sting?
It seems that the past few weeks have been a season of death for many that I know and love. But I must illuminate…where their loved ones may have died here on earth; their new and eternal lives have begun in Heaven! Last week I was driving to one of my dearest...
Do you owe something to someone?
Quick thought: We should take the lead of my man, Tim, as he follows The Man’s (God) lead. Owe nothing to anyone! All the thirty years I’ve known Tim, he doesn’t like to owe anyone anything. So, when I read Romans 13:8a this morning, it made me think that we should...
Just Because…
Oh, dear friends, how precious it is to know that just because Easter Sunday has come and gone, The Message is still true. Just because you’ve already worn your Easter best, possibly enjoyed a feast with your family and friends, showed up to church, and smiled for...
Soaking up The Son
Get your flip-flops on, and grab your sunglasses, some sunscreen, and a beach blanket. Spring has sprung, and summer is right around the corner. The weather is beautiful and it’s time to soak up the Son in the sun. When I read the first part of Hebrews 1:3, I...
Life is Precious
The cycle of life…we’re born, we live, and we die. And if you are a born again Christian…you truly live after you pass through this earth. (James 4:14) Lately I’ve been reminded (again) about how short and precious life is. Yesterday a precious young lady came over...
The Reason for the "Day-After-Easter" Photo
“We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us. So we also ought to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters.” 1 John 3:16 I find it comical that after the “picture fiasco” my family had yesterday, that 1 John 3:16 appears as the...
This is what happens when you…
Confession time…After reading today’s scripture, I guess you could say that lately I’ve been stripping. Yep, you heard it right. I’ve been stripping! Whew, you can always tell when God’s been working on me, because I’m silent from my journaling. A little over a week...
Things and People Change…God does not.
I don’t even know where to begin. So I’ll keep it simple and focused. When I read the verse for the day from Psalm 62:7 , it was powerful. I wanted more of it. So I opened up the entire chapter and read it over and over again. God’s word is so moving and...
Joy in the End
“God has blessed you in ways that serve Christ. He allowed you to believe in Christ. But that is not all. He has also given you the honor of suffering for Christ. Both of these bring glory to Christ.” Philippians 1:29 When you’re pregnant you will probably go through...
Walk in The Light
In 1 John 1:5, John wrote: “This is the message we heard from Jesus and now declare to you: God is light, and there is no darkness in Him at all.” Then he went on to write some cause and effects in verses 6-10. I want to encourage you to read, reread, and marinate...
