Walking with God

The pastor was preaching from 1 Thessalonians 4. When we read the words “even more” in both verses 2 and 10, I reread and made the connection. What are we to do “even more”? We are to love and live even more. This got my curiosity up as to what else we are called to...

In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 NASB God must have really wanted me to get to church. Have you ever been in a group when someone asks for prayer requests, and hands go up, serious requests are...

This week, from Palm Sunday (the Sunday before Easter) to Easter Sunday, is considered Holy Week. To me, as a Christian, Easter Sunday is the most important and exciting holiday.  Year after year we hear the story of Easter. As a little girl, sitting in Sunday school...

This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Look! I am going to put breath into you and make you live again! Ezekiel 37:5 NLT Just Breathe! This is exactly what I’ve been doing the past two months while we revive the Soaking up The Son website. Up until mid January, I was...

Sometimes I think that the texts I send to my kiddos are blocked because they don’t respond. I pray that today's video encourages you: https://youtu.be/yPAk7vr7uX0 Don’t block God. Listen to Him. Read His word. Obey. Obey, and it will all be okay. But if I see that...

The Shuff home no longer has any teenagers. Happy 20th Birthday to our youngest, Cole! I spent the morning looking back at journal entries for Cole’s birthday. Instead of me going on and on about Cole, I thought I'd let The Word describe him.  These are verses that...

When I was a little girl, I was not big on reading. Dancing in the barn, singing in the yard, playing outside all day, playing school with my stuffed animals, and using my imagination in the many forts I had on our property…yes, these were the activities I...

The past couple of days I’ve been slowly taking down our Christmas decor. I say slowly because as Christmas comes down and the room looks bare, my mind starts planning and I begin rearranging furniture to new locations.  Oh!!! That makes me think of this…stay with...

On each page of my new book The Right Road, you are to seek a little ant hidden in the illustrations. I want to encourage you to do the same with God and His goodness each day. Seek Him daily.  Keep your God Goggles on and look at life with a godly perspective. Enjoy...

Christmas 2021 was extra special. My delayed obedience was no more! What God had called me to do almost ten years ago was finally done. Quick timeline (sort of): In 2012 is when I first felt God’s nudging and others telling me to write a book. The Soaking Up The Son...
