The author states that, “Life today makes it nearly impossible to realize your true purpose and plan for your life. However, when you take a biblical perspective toward life, having been redeemed by God, you begin to see your purpose emerge before your eyes.”

Pastor Rasheda Jackson knows firsthand about the search for one’s purpose in God, chronicling her journey through her advice book, Empowered by His Purpose; When All Things Work Together for Your Good. Rasheda believes everyone is given the potential to dream and achieve more in God than by themselves, empowered by a positivity over negativity approach. She asserts that the trials and obstacles you experience can work together for good, recalling her own testimony as proof of this belief. From never knowing her father to being molested as a child to becoming a young, single mother, Rasheda has seen those challenges be used to reveal her purpose and God’s love for her.

The author is an independent beauty consultant with Mary Kay Cosmetics, a motivational speaker, mentor and co-owner of Virtuous Management. She also co-pastors a church in Miramar, FL.
