For Such A Time As This

About the Book

Food for thought-

“Once  you lose your hunger, passion and thirst for God, you are being robbed by the spirit of this world.”  This statement rang truth in my ears, and in my life.  As I sat in that Bible Study session at church, I quickly recounted how many times I allowed the spirit of this world to rob me of happiness, success and peace.

     That night, we were taught to “trust God’s word when situations arise”.  I realized then, I was not only robbed of happiness, success and peace-I was robbed of trusting God.   I was robbed of my purpose.  For Such A Time As This... is my purpose.  Inside the pages of this book, you will be invited into the dreams and visions given to me that have taken the form of poetry and prose over the past three years. 

      I pray my gift leads you to seek His face.  Let it lead you to check His word to find your purpose, just as I was led to check it to find mine.   The stage has been set, the poets have taken their place, and the curtain has risen for such a time as this.   

About the Author

This is Violet's first collection of writings sent out for the world to enjoy.  "My mission is to first, give honor to our Heavenly Father for choosing and allowing me to be used for His glory.  Secondly, I must place everything God has given me into the hands of the people who are seeking."  It is often said, you can't have a testimony unless you have a test.  Like millions of others, Violet has had her share.  Her experiences, open and shut doors, gains and losses, joys and pains, dying in ignorance and  living in wisdom have led to the contents of this book.  Through it all, God has shown Himself to be true to His promises. 

Violet and her husband Arthur live in North Carolina, with their five children and two grandchildren.  This is where her family’s roots began, and where God will perform His good work.
