According to AlwaysAList.com, Sarah Jakes, daughter of the renowned Bishop T.D. Jakes, announced this past August that she and her husband, former Washington Washington Football Team linebacker Robert Henson were getting a divorce.
“I have built my ministry and identity around being the best wife and a mother I can be. For quite sometime I have tried to steer through some serious troubles at home,” Henson wrote on her blog atwww.SarahJakes.com. “As much as I wanted my marriage to last, it cannot.”
Now the 24-year-old Jakes, who heads up the Women’s Ministry at her father’s ministry The Potter’s House in Dallas, is acknowledging that she really had a tough time emotionally after splitting from her husband.
In a new blog post, Jakes explained that sharing the heartache of her marriage ending is a testimony she hopes can help God’s people.

“This time last year I was preparing an introduction for my father at ‘Woman Thou Art Loosed’ that would change the very essence of who I am. A year later and I have experienced many highs and lows, but I haven’t faced anything as devastating as who I was before I gave in to that small still voice,” Jakes wrote. “I, nor anyone who knows me, would have ever imagined that I would stand before a crowd and speak from the heart about who I am, what I’ve done, and how God used me anyway. When I spoke last year at the conference I spoke about what I did and what happened TO me, this year I will stand a living testimony about what I discovered was IN me.”
Jakes wants her honesty to inspire and help others who may be facing obstacles in their own lives.
