Walking with God

Be changed from the inside out.

STOP! Stop trying to be someone you’re not. Stop comparing yourself to others. START! Start allowing GOD to change the way you think about yourself. Start learning, knowing, and believing that God’s will for you is perfect and best for you. Don’t take it from me, read...

Nashville had me like…

I could say that studying God’s word has me like…. Or renovating a home and in the middle of living between two homes AND sleeping on the floor AND eating dinners out AND not having my convenient washer and dryer at my beckon call AND…has me like…. Both of these...

25 years and counting.

At this time (8:30pm) twenty-five years ago, Tim and I were on our way to stay our honeymoon night at the luxurious hotel, The Breakers in Palm Beach, Florida, before departing the next day for a cruise. I can recount many memorable moments that trip, but the memories...

My Prayer for you:

This is my prayer for you: that your love will grow more and more; that you will have knowledge and understanding with your love; 10 that you will see the difference between what is important and what is not and choose what is important; that you will be pure and...

“Houses don’t have memories, people do.”

Well, today is the day. This journey began back in November 2014 when we first signed the contract what was possibly going to be our future homeland. Then, this peaceful acreage and home actually became ours on the last day of August 2015. Almost TWO YEARS later…today...

No Worries

God either has a great sense of humor, is whispering in my ear, shouting in my psyche, or most likely all three this morning when I read today’s scripture. “What you should want most is God’s kingdom and doing what he wants you to do. Then he will give you all these...

Who will you follow?

This past weekend Tim was in north Florida and Holly and I went to Georgia. We timed our return home so we could meet at an exit, have Holly ride with her dad so they could visit before she abruptly had to get back to college once we were home, and then follow each...

I Believe…I Believe…Lord, help me in my unbelief.

  Ten more days. Ten more days until College Hunks Hauling Junk pack up our furniture and haul it to our newly (well…almost) remodeled home. I’m like a kid on Christmas each day (which is EVERY day) I visit, waiting to view my new present. Last Friday, after my...

A "Thank You, Jesus" Kinda Day

My shirt says it all about today’s Fall Conference that I attended today, with the title “Get in Focus”. The past few weeks have been crunch time for the Shuff family as we prepare to move into our home at the end of THIS month. THIS month! (More on that tomorrow.)...

In Awe of Him

Getting overcome by God’s presence is such a powerful and personal experience for me. Most Sunday mornings if you were to look at this conservative Baptist born and bred girl during praise and worship time through music, you would think you’d need to tell my man,...

So…THIS is what we are supposed to do…

So all of you should live together in peace. Try to understand each other. Love each other like brothers and sisters. Be kind and humble. 1 Peter 3:8 When I read the bible verse for the day a few things came to mind: Live together in peace? Ahhh, that sounds...

Proud to be from my small town.

Tonight was a wonderful example of why I am proud to be from Plant City, Florida. Our youngest child decided last year that he wanted to show a pig at The Florida Strawberry Festival. So, we completed the application process a few months ago, and tonight was the night...
