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
Sometimes you've just gotta laugh!
No, you’re not looking at a mug shot of someone. The zombie apocalypse didn’t even happen. This picture made me laugh so hard I cried! When my family was returning from a recent international trip, we went through the new (well, new to me) customs self-serve kiosk....
Marriage is work
Every time I write the date, March 23rd, it takes me back a few years. On March 23, 1985, Tim and I had our first date. (We were juniors in high school.) On March 23, 1991, Tim asked me to marry him. (Of course I said, “Yes!”) So when I woke up this morning and knew...
A "Poo-Poo" Attitude
Confession time. Yesterday afternoon I had a not-so-good attitude about a situation. It was over something VERY trivial. But I still did not have on my best Christian mind-set. My attitude didn’t last long, but long enough to know that I let God down with my...
He will always be "my baby".
How appropriate the timing of today’s bible verse is! Nineteen years ago, at 4:16 in the morning, during March Maddness and NBA games (I remember because Tim was glued to the tv before delivery.), the “madness” stopped and JOY entered into our world. Hunter Wayne...
Filled with Joy and Peace
These words just make me giddy: “I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in Him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15:13 Not only do I feel giddiness, but...
Recipe for a GoOd Life, Part 3
According to WebMD Nearsightedness (myopia) is a common cause of blurred vision. It can be mild, moderate, or severe. If you are nearsighted, objects in the distance appear blurry and out of focus. You might squint or frown when trying to see distant objects clearly. ...
Recipe for a GoOD Life, Part 2
Okay, so yesterday I posted "Recipe for a GoOD Life" and invited you to stay tuned for two more postings regarding this “recipe” from 2 Peter 1:5-9. Here’s part two: “8 If all these things are in you and growing, you will never fail to be useful to God. You will...
Recipe for a GoOD Life
I just tasted something and it was so good. YUMMY is an understated phrase here! Ok, you know in Psalm 34:8 where it says, “Taste and see that the LORD is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in Him!”? Well, I sunk my teeth into some scripture and discovered...
Getting Through the Turbulence in Your Life
When you fly through the clouds, turbulence occurs. The plane starts trembling. You may see people grabbing a loved one’s hand or the arm rest, closing their eyes and praying, or even the look of panic comes across their face. But once the aircraft breaks through...
Got peace?
I’ve noticed that when I don’t feel at peace, it’s due to my own choices and thoughts. But, when I am at peace, it is when I focus on God. Isaiah talks to God and says in chapter 26 verses 3-4, “You (God) will keep in perfect peace all who trust in You, all whose...
Giving Comfort Back
“All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort.4 He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given...
A needed prayer:
This verse is just too good not to share with you all. I pray this now. Will you join me and sincerely pray it to our Heavenly Father? It's a scary thought for Christ to know our heart, but if He's in it...He already knows. This is often to make us more aware of...
