1. Who is Stephanneth Adams?
Stephanneth Adams is a Spiritual Life Motivator,
Author, and Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner (2012). She was born in
Maryland to the proud parents Dr. Stenneth & Mrs. Stephanie Adams.
Her life’s purpose is to use her God-given gifts to help foster the
success of women spiritually, mentally, socially, and physiologically.
Stephanneth has always found that expressing herself through writing
& dance came naturally for her. She is a born Motivator.
This
is her purpose that she realized in her late teens that God wanted to
use. After placing her life in God’s hand at the age of 17, Steph began
her journey of walking into her destiny. She hasn’t always been a
perfect woman, but God has always been there to reshape and transform
her into the woman that He desires her to be. Steph believes that God
has called her to live her life as an inspiration to others. Through her
own life’s journey she has learned life principles that will help any
woman and how to depend on the One who supplies her needs.
To
put it in a nut shell, Steph is a woman journeying through life just
like everyone else. She’s faced ups and downs, pain, sadness, grief,
obstacles, you name it. However, there is one thing that rings true for
her life, someone up above has His hands guiding her to a place of
destiny. It’s eminent when you look at her life.
2. What’s your purpose?
My
purpose is to bring healing to every woman. I am just tired of the
façade that we put on, when it is so evident that women are still
hurting. We lack an understanding of who we are, why we were created,
how to get over our past, how to be successful, and how to have the
right type of relationships. Yet, we put on a front to pretend that we
know all of these things. The truth is that we don’t. No one is teaching
us. Look at the television media, who has a truly stable life in
Hollywood? The answer is, very few people do in that industry. Look at
the church, who has stability there? I will say that more people have a
stable life in the church than in Hollywood, but there are still many
people going to church who are unstable. Why? No one wants to face the
truth about who they are. We don’t want to confront our issues and what
has affected us throughout life. This is something that I don’t quite
understand because in order to develop for the future, you have to
understand your past. You learn from it, heal from it, and close it.
Then, you can walk into your future.
So
many of us want to do just that, but we don’t know where to start. How
do we journey from our past into our future? That’s where I come in and I
assist women to do that. My purpose is to get women to stop placing
blame on other people and situations. To re-evaluate things and focus on
how they contributed to the situations or how they have allowed it to
affect them up to today. It’s a tough thing to do, but unless it’s done,
women will go to the grave never truly experiencing the life that God
always wanted to give them when they were little girls. We can continue
to put on a façade like everything is peachy keen and like we never
faced a problem if we want to, but you will only deprive yourself of
true freedom and purpose.
3. Why did you write this book?
I wrote this book because it is a part of my purpose. I am a healthcare
provider first in career with a focus on health prevention and promotion
for the adolescent to the aging woman. However, writing is a God given
gift that He told me to use. When I sit down to write, something magical
happens. When the content is read to others, their lives are changed
and touched. There is power in writing. If I can change the lives of
several women through writing, then my purpose has been fulfilled!
4. Who should read your book and why?
I believe that every woman should read my book because each of us is
journeying through life. We each have experienced ups and downs in some
sort of way. Every woman needs to know that she can survive the bad
times of life, she needs to heal from her past, she needs to know her
purpose, and she needs to find true love. Any woman who reads this book
will find that there are areas of her life where she still experiences
droughts (pain), areas that need to be watered and refreshed. This book
will bring that refreshing water to her life.
5. What 4 questions must every woman ask herself?
1. What’s my purpose?
2. How do I get over my past?
3. How do I prepare for marriage?
4. How do I connect to my creator?
6. What does every woman need to know?
Every
woman needs to know that she is worth it. She’s enough. She’s a
princess born to a King. No matter what she has gone through in her
life, it’s time to close that past and move forward!
7. Can non-Christians read your book?
Most certainly, especially if they desire
to take a spiritual journey. A lot of times people want to re-connect to
their creator, but they don’t know how to do that. This book finds a
way to help you do that, whether you are a Christian or not. It’s a
spiritual based book. It’s not a “churchy” book, but it does stand on
biblical principles. You see, so many times church based things don’t
get to the heart of the matter. They just glance through superficial
things. This book gets to the heart of the matter and gives you a real
perspective. It shows you why certain choices can bring heart ache and
pain and why making better choices will bring happiness into your life.
The book was designed to touch the heart of every woman and who knows
her heart more than the One who created her? Her creator is out to love
her, not condemn her. Neither am I out to condemn her, but love her
through writing, right where she needs it the most, her heart.
Life’s
Journey: Woman to Woman is a journey where you and the author travel
the paths of life to find healing and purpose. It’s a personal journey
as you complete the exercises provided after each motivational chapter
which is geared to inspiring and motivating you to walk into the future
that was planned for you ever since you were a little girl. Sometimes,
as we travel through life we encounter heartache, pain, roadblocks, and
negative circumstances that deter us from the future that we were meant
to have. However, if we confront those past issues so that we can learn
and heal from them, we can begin rediscovering the powerful woman that
we were created to be. That’s what this book does, it assists you to
confront your past, close the chapter, and walk into the purposeful
future that you were always destined for.
The
books major concept is: in order to walk into your destined future, you
must close your past first. I see it this way; I can’t help women have a
better future if I don’t assist them in forgiving their past failures
(whatever she thinks those are). With forgiveness and closing the past,
then women can truly walk into the best future. Every woman has a past,
it may not be the same past as another woman, but she has one and needs
to heal from it. After she heals, she can then find her career purpose,
forgiveness, true love, and be better in all of her relationships. These
principles are what my book is based on.
Excerpt:
~Process of Forgiveness~
- 1. Remove the belief that you have the right to get even with the people who have hurt you.
- 2. Re-examine your life. Look at your past circumstances and analyze the details. What are possible reasons for the person’s actions or remarks? Were they treated the same way in their past? Are they repeating a cycle? Do they realize that what they did negatively affected you? See the bigger picture.
- 3. Embrace the belief that forgiveness heals you, not your forgiver. Forgiveness is for YOU! Forgiveness breaks you free from feelings of resentment, discontent, hatred, bondage, and grief. Forgiveness removes the road blocks of your life.
~Letting Go of Past Pains Challenge~
I challenge you to begin your journey of forgiveness today! Ask God to
begin to help you realize everyone that you need to forgive. Meditate on
your life up to this point and remember those whom you haven’t
forgiven. It’s not worth it to hold a grudge against them. In the long
run you’re only hurting yourself. Un-forgiveness creates a heart full of
heavy chains, resentment, and sadness. It creates road blocks that stop
you from reaching your destiny. Think about this. The person you hate is
living their life while you are stuck in the muck of your bitterness.
They aren’t worried about you. They have moved on, but you haven’t. Let
God take away your chains of hatred and bitterness through the process
of forgiveness. Allow joy and peace to encompass you. Begin to live a
life of freedom starting today.
Warning: the process of forgiveness is not easy! It’s painful in the beginning, but ends in everlasting joy.
Helpful tip: Do not focus on the pain during the process, but focus on the purpose of forgiveness.
