WELFARE TO BOOKFARE Don't allow anybody to tell you what you cannot do! AMAZON -AVAILABLE NOW Interview with Deborah Lassiter PROJECT: YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH Interview with Carol Graham -Did You Circumstances Ever Lie to You Having a baby out of wedlock was not part of my plan. Still, from a small girl growing up in the South, I knew God had a spectacular purpose for me. Likewise, I had those big dreams for myself. Nothing unrealistic, yet, it included going to college, helping the underprivileged, and inspiring others to be who God created them to be. My Big Mama played a pivotal role in the woman I became. Her resilience inspired me to become a writer and never to; allow anything to stop me from achieving my goals. She lost her eyesight after her children were grown and had families; of their own. So, I would read the Bible to her and join her in her monthly gathering at the Mother’s Board Meetings held at Antioch Baptist Church. Those women of grace poured into my life and gave me a sense of belonging and confidence. So, when I received the report, I was pregnant, I knew I had a precious life; I had to set an example. So, I promised myself that if; I did not get married, I would not have any more children. I kept my promise. Years later, I have no regrets because I can share my story and use my inspirational readings to empower countless others. Beloved, regardless of what has happened to you, it is not too late to fulfill the grand plan and purpose the Lord has crafted for you. You may believe you messed up; so badly, but nothing can save you now. Dear One, you are not alone. God never left you, and He wants to take you further than you have ever gone before. So, arise and take your place, Daughter of the King and Mighty Man of Valor. Come, join me because God has conquered your enemies. This day, He can turn your challenging circumstances into your greatest triumphs. (1 Samuel 17:41-47). Get Ready! Your Red Carpet Moment has arrived!

My Purpose is to use my inspirational devotionals to ignite a design within you to bring out the purpose that’s already in you. I believe everyone has a unique gift to make a difference in the world. Everybody is good at something. Sometimes you need someone to believe in you. Sometimes you require a little push, a “voice” to inspire you to be who you should be. Beloved, to fulfill the remarkable plan God has for your life you must overcome any negative images, thoughts, and any pain and hurt in your past which has crippled you. Dear One, I don’t have any magic formula to offer you. I don’t come with some get-rich scheme to deceive you. I don’t make broken promises I can’t fulfill, either. What I have is to use God’s Word ~ My Voice in writing to encourage, inspire, and empower you. Beloved, take a leap of faith and trust God to set you free from the past which has held you, prisoner. I ask you to exit the Revolving door of despair. My Friend, come, journey with me through transforming devotionals and apply God’s Word and realize you don’t need to wait until everything is perfect to be who He created you to be. God has blessed you with the potential you need to be who He already knows you are. Your dreams await you and you can achieve them. Dear Friend, there is more to you than meets the eye. My Vision~ Vernita Simmons, Author/Publishing Consultant & Speaker~ To help you see your life has a purpose and you are of significant worth. To stir your heart so it ignites a flame for you to see yourself as God sees you. It’s what He says matters most. Dear, you are valuable, and your life is priceless. The meditations are to encourage you not to believe those who tell you what you can’t achieve. Beloved, you are good enough to rise above being told you are a failure, a nobody, inferior, and an embarrassment. My Friend, He breathed greatness in you, and you are not defined by your past. The Lord created you to thrive. You can do what you thought you never could. Revealing Jesus by spreading love, hope, and faith. .

Monthly Feature Article my interview with Deborah Lassiter, Dovetales ​ As a Daughter of the King, I am honored to have this open dialogue as a means to minister and enrich the lives of women all across the nation. You see - I know what it is like to have your heart shattered in what feels like a million pieces by the one you loved. I know what it is like to unjustly lose your job which you faithfully served for over 15 years because of "Abuse of Power." I know what it's like to go from one job rejection to the next, though you are highly qualified for the position. Likewise, I understand when you're treated as if you are not good enough. Beloved, you are not alone. Precious - God will take what the enemy meant to crush your spirit to propel you into His plan and purpose He has designed for your life. The Lord has delivered and set me free from being in an abusive relationship which resulted in me being set-up and betrayed by my church leaders - from a single parent on welfare to an aspiring Author all due to trusting Him no matter what. The same God who did this for me, expect Him to do this and more for you! Come... Let us journey together and enrich each other's lives. Read More A PASSION For Women I will give thanks and praise to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are your works, And my soul knows it well. (Psalms 139:14) Though your heart has been shattered in what seems to be a million pieces, God will not leave you nor will He forsake you. Beloved - Before any pian touches your life, it already has pierced His hands. Now -Your past isn't what defines you. Your current circumstances, whether good or bad, isn't what defines you, either. When God looks at you, He sees beauty and inner strength you may not see, perhaps because of low self-esteem. And sometimes to realize just how resilient you are, you have to go through inexplicable pain and heartache. During such times, it's God's using this season to mold and shapes you into the woman of God He anointed you to be before the foundation of the world. It's an opportunity to shine amid tough times and gain a deeper dependency upon the Lord. Dearest Sister, it's time to arise and take your life back and be who God desires you to be. The Lord insists on you being you. The most horrible things about you, God knows. The worst and most unattractive behaviors and habits about you, God knows. His ultimate desire is to bring out the best in you. The Lord desires to abide in you. Come unto Him and allow His love to lavish you and set you free. You'll experience a love like you never had before. God loves you! You mean the world to Him. I'm Available to Speak at Women's Retreats, Conventions, Women Conferences and Workshops/Seminars, Book Clubs Likewise, I welcome the opportunity to be interviewed.

Our working relationship was one of professionalism and fun. I know that our working relationship will continue, and I look forward to working with her on my next book.” Connie Dionne, Author of Kamillon Rose “Do you have a story to tell, something to teach, what to write a book?

I highly recommend this Amazing woman, Vernita Simmons, she will help you get it done.” Alberto Raggio, Author of Draw Your Circle “Vernita Simmons has helped me with editing all of my books.

They now appeal to clients everywhere and are selling very well. She is truly a pleasure to work with. And I have recommended her to work with and I have recommended her services to others. None have come back and said anything but how awesome and thorough she is with her work.” Kaleda E. Carthran “Ms. Vernita was definitely a blessing from God. She came at a time when I needed a little push and confidence boost to start my book. She was very patient with me and professional. Her passion goes beyond just being a publisher but a friend and prayer partner. I would not be a pu blished author today if it were not for Ms. Vernita working with me and helping me through the process. She is so knowledgeable and is not in business just for the money, but to be a blessing to everyone. She has written several books of her own and helped many first-time authors publish their books. I am so grateful for her and I highly recommend her services to everyone I know. Saviela Edwards Thorne, Author of Seasons of a Woman's Life ​ This is my first book, and I knew nothing about the mechanics of publishing a book before I wrote this book. Neat helped me through the whole process. She showed me all the administrative requirements of publishing my book, was thorough in editing my book, encouraged me, and worked with me to produce a good product. She was very patient. Neat worked with me as I worked with a friend who did the cover for my book. Since I started hanging out with the homeless four and one-half years ago, I wanted to write a book on homelessness. I first learned that there is such a population in my county, discovered who they really are, and witnessed first-hand the trials they face. I, myself was homeless for a season. Neat helped baptize me into the world of writing a book, a world I was unfamiliar with as I was about the homeless before I started hanging out with them. I've already started another book about a subject that's close to my heart. I plan to have Neat, help me with that. Jeff Drinnan, Author of There Are Homeless In Bucks County -

I want my devotionals to encourage you to recognize you are stronger than you think. And no matter the season, God is preparing something extraordinary. Listen to her interview with Carol Graham and Deborah Lassiter. ​ ​ Interview with Carol Graham Interview with Deborah Lassiter AVAULABLE NOW 'My Brothers, God wants to use you to impact the world. Howdy Beloved, ​ I’m Vernita, but you can call me Neat or Nita. Come, and travel with me as I share about this devotional that has become a series. This book will empower you to understand your life has a purpose, that tough times don’t last, but tough people do, and to see yourself as God sees you because greatness lies in you. Beloved, you can do what you thought you never could. ​ I know what it is like to have more than enough of God’s blessing and lose everything. Likewise, no one plans to be unemployed and live without a consistent; means of income for three years. And when it happens at the hands of abuse of power by; the head of Human Resources, it can shatter your world. And I share about the pain of betrayal, along with how I went from being a single parent on welfare to publishing four books within a year. Though my faith and enthusiasm have inspired and encouraged countless others across the globe, I experienced what it is like to suffer hardships. Still, Vernita knows nobody gains great faith without it being stretched, strained, and tested. ​ When I was a child, I enjoyed playing springboard and climbing trees. Come, travel with the little girl who grew up reading the Bible to her grandmother who was blind. They became trusted companions as she attended the monthly Mother's Board Meetings at Antioch Baptist Church. Her eloquent ways of expressing herself amazed and captivated Vernita. Also, being around the mothers of the church; and hearing them expound on the Word of God provided Vernita with a sense of confidence and belonging. On occasion, they allowed her to comment. In addition to realizing she had a gift for speaking, she later recognized her Big Mama had inspired her to write. Little did Vernita know this would propel her into the plan and purpose God ordained for her life. ​ Her first book, Capturing the Spirit of God’s Word with Vernita is a divinely inspired medicinal devotional. I courageously and candidly share my roughest battles. I show how my grandmother’s unshakable faith in God compelled me to rely on Him no matter what. I reveal what it’s like to seize what the enemy designs to break your spirit, and the Lord uses it to propel you to your destiny. The book is an empowering story that shows how faith, resilience, and God’s amazing love can use your brokenness and make you an extortionary example of beauty for ashes. With the help of my dear friend; Lynn’s exquisite skills guiding me, this story takes readers on a joyful and endearing journey. ​ Together we can make an incredible difference. I encourage you to donate to these worthy causes: Brandon Burlsworth Foundation and Wheels Of Hope Rising Foundation ​ Things changed for her when she went to school as her classmates found it amusing to tease her by calling her; Clarence, the cockeyed lion; from the TV show Born Free. Having a condition known as lazy eye, Vernita recognized she could do nothing about her physical appearance. Still, she realized she had something of value they did not. She had the steadfast faith in God passed down to her from her Big Mama. Vernita emerged herself in Joel 2:28 and came to see herself as God saw her. She knew He had handpicked her for something far more than she could ever imagine. She often said to them, keep your eyes on Vernita because I can show you better than I can tell you. Likewise, she proclaimed, one day, she would write a book. So, Vernita composed her first play at the tender age of nine. It became the catalyst of an incredible gift that has blessed her to become a multiple award-winning Christian author. Vernita says her desire is for those I encounter to be touched and inspired by my enthusiasm in sharing the gift of knowing God, that is ever so present in my life. God has enabled her to bring her writing and speaking talents in a full circle. Vernita likewise gravitated to become a demonstrative praise worshiper. It is another faithful tribute from the heart, which the Lord further developed when she served as a Minister in Training at Beth-El Love Christian Center in Orange, NJ. It was there; that she met the anointed Pastors Robert and the late Dorothy Wilson. They embraced her collective gifts as a Majestic Dance Worshiper and speaker. In November 2010, they allowed her to spearhead her first Praise and Worship Conference. It seems so long ago, before Beth-El, as a single parent, Vernita used; being a recipient of welfare to her advantage. She enrolled in school and graduated with an Associate Degree in Business Administration, from Essex County College. While attending college, she made the Dean’s List. Vernita likewise worked in the work-study program and became their Report Specialist in the Financial Aid Department. In October 1991, she became a Substitute Teacher. Vernita devoted her time working with Pre -K through Adult education. But her area of expertise and heart was; second grade and special education. She often used singing and acting techniques to teach her students. Through this unique method, she watched her children thrive. While working in this position, Vernita says, my unshakable faith in God stirred me to relinquish being a recipient of welfare. It was a significant milestone in my life, and I thought others would be excited too. After all, I was a young African American woman breaking away from the system to improve my life. My caseworker thought I had lost my mind. My cousin asked, “Fool, what you do that for?” Still, it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, and I never regretted it. Her unwavering faith in God, enthusiastic demeanor, and unique teaching techniques earned her the rapport to become a Preferred Substitute Teacher. Vernita shares this incredible story in her book, Welfare to Bookfare . After losing her job to abuse of power, resulting in an extended season of unemployment and no consistent means of income, she became a Freelance Writer. She became well accepted and popularly admired by readers on several social media platforms; she wrote her first book. And a dear friend, Lisa Castracane, inspired her to call it Capturing the Spirit of God’s. It is a divinely inspired medicinal devotional. It is an empowering story that shows how faith, resilience, and His amazing love can use your brokenness and make you an extraordinary example of beauty for ashes. She says, I courageously and candidly share my toughest battles. I show how my grandmother’s unshakable faith in God compelled me to rely on Him no matter what. I reveal what it is like to seize what the enemy designs to break your spirit, and the Lord uses it to propel you to your destiny. With the help of my dear friend; Lynn’s exquisite skills guiding me, this story takes readers on a joyful and endearing journey. Vernita likewise contributed to online sites such as Community Christian Service Workers. While as Interview Manager at Faith Filled Family Magazine, she not only was a feature writer but interviewed countless prominent Christian artists as well. Vernita contributes to her blog and Amazon Author Page , too. FaithWriters also present her heartwarming devotionals. Also, she received a personal foreword from Marty and Vickie Burlsworth for her book, You Are Good Enough . An invaluable work inspired by Greater , a major motion movie about their family. Vernita enjoys using words to make people feel better. She uses her devotionals to spread faith, hope, and love to anyone who needs a place to unburden the cares of life. It brings her joy devoting her time to impact, equip, and encourage you to see yourself as God sees you, so you can do what you thought you never could. Greatness lies in you. Her book, Welfare to BookFare , is a testament to what the Lord can do when you trust Him no matter what and leave the outcome to Him. It has earned her the noble honor of being the featured guest on Raven’s Price Talk Interview. Carol Graham, the Radio Talk Show Host of Never Give Up Hope, also headlined her. Elder Tannie Hill of; Be the Voice featured her extraordinary journey of transiting from a single parent on welfare to publishing her first four books within a year. She has also been the honored guest on Dovetails with Deborah Lassiter. Vernita’s enthusiastic approach enables her to connect and draw people into the presence of God. It is common to witness her engage with her audience as she gravitated to being an illustrative worshiper and a keynote speaker at Christian conferences, workshops, and women’s events. She also encourages her listeners through her Podcast -God’s Word ~ My Voice, featured on several listening platforms, including Spotify and Apple. When she is not writing, she loves chatting with her adorable grandchildren. Also, she enjoys walking the path as she uses her flags while praying and tearing down strongholds.
