    Oprah and T D Jakes Confirmed my Divine Purpose

    By verichards8  |  Posted April 10, 2012  |  Houston, Texas
     

    On April 9, 2012, I watched Oprah's Life Class. T. D. Jakes appeared as a guest teacher on the show. Oprah, T. D. Jakes and I all believe that nothing in this world happens by chance and that we all have a divine purpose on this earth.

    I believe that Trayvon Martin's murder which has this country divide along racial lines presents me with an opportunity to achieve part of my divine purpose. Our divine purpose is something that we a passionate about and have the ability based on our life experiences to cause change. I have identified my purpose and watching Oprah and Jakes confirmed it and also encouraged me to embrace it.
