Unspoken Linguistics: Communication Strategy and Defense

Who Am I?: Rocks to Royalty

I am a strong woman. This does not mean that I am stubborn. This does not mean that I can do no wrong and cannot embrace new philosophies. What this means is that I am determined to make it. Why do I continue? Because my purpose and my destiny require much strength, much passion, much wisdom, much humility, much suffering, much faith, much perseverance, and much creativity. My upkeep is supported by prayer.

I cannot brag about a prominent family background. I cannot brag about a life of making all the right choices. I cannot brag about not having struggles. In my current situation, I will not brag about the things that I have accomplished. I will admit that I am still in the process of being perfected. I will admit that I have been tragically broken and that it took divine intervention to redeem me.

I will admit that I sometimes have to weep. I will admit that it's not easy being me. But most importantly, I will not forget from where God has brought me. That is why I know that my Father in heaven loves me unconditionally. My name is Stephanie, which means "crown." A crown is a priceless ornament that adorns the head, notates the authority of the head, and is upheld by the strength of the head.

Each jewel has come through ages of formation and has developed numerous facets to reflect beauty that comes from within. These crystals can multiply one stream of light into many rays of power. They are held in place by fine gold which is molded by the storms of nature. Who am I? I am one who has been chosen for a royal purpose but was once just a pile of rocks!
