Restoration in the middle of a Storm

The past six months of my life have been like a storm. The tides have been high, but I have been holding on to the only thing I know that has been solid in my life. My faith in Jesus Christ. He has been there for me every step of the way, and providing for me with out delay. My test is becoming my testimony. It has build His character in me. I find myself looking in the mirror of the word, and it has been showing the imperfections that I have been to blind to see.

Like the Israelite's who walked around in the desert for forty years. I found myself complaining about everything. Never satisfied with what I already had, and not realizing how much of a spoiled brat I seem to others around me. I have been put in a position to shed the mess to bring out the best in me.
For the past several years of beginning this blog, I had stop writing because I was too much into me and what I wanted to do. Not realizing my move back to where the root of my problems began would mean me coming full circle of the inner me. I have come to learn, and I am still learning that my purpose in life is not about what I want, but what God has created me to be, and that is to live in the service and perfect will of God.

I remember in 2004 when I lost everything, I asked God what was my purpose, why am I here; because nothing seem to make sense. I was in a daze of confusion and nothing was going my way; and the Holy Spirit, which I didn't know it was Him at the time, took me to Ephesians 1, and in that chapter Paul talks about how we were chosen before the foundation of the world; to be Holy and blameless before Him in love. To be in the adopted through Christ Jesus to God which is His pleasure and will. At that moment I found the beginning of my purpose, but wasn't really sure how to get there. So I continue to search not realizing what I was searching for. Each day since than has been a walk closer to Him, being transformed into His imagine,

I will admit I have messed up along the way while finding my true purpose, but I kept holding on in the midst of each and every storm. Layer by layer through each and every storm the restoration became more and more prevalent. My storms made me stronger, and they have build my character to became like the Creator who created me from he beginning.

I respect you "Happy Memorial Day 2016"

Pamela Morris

Hello, whew, it has been a long time since I have post anything on 
"Always in His Presence". You probably thought I fell off the face of the earth, and by right you should think that. However I'm back with a new attitude on life and a lot of experiences to go with it. My life has changed so much in the last few years that I don't know where to begin; but I am back and I am here to walk you through my journey with Grace. I plan to open my mind to new possibilities, gifts and talents that my Father in Heaven has given me;and share them with you. So come and join me as we stay in His Presence and walk with Grace. Below is a poem I wrote a poem in honor of 'Memorial Day". I pray as you listen, it will enrich and encourage you to give a little more love to those who are still with you on earth. 

A Leap of Faith

As humans we believe in many things that we can see. We believe that the chair or couch that we sit on will hold us up without thinking of the possibility that it may come crashing down at any moment. We know for certain that the sun will go down and come up again, regardless if it’s cloudy or not. It’s just fact and it has always been that way since the day we enter the world or since the world began. These are simple things that we take for granted every day, they are the physical and natural we trust and understand. It makes sense to us to see something working already without having to rely on inner instincts, but it’s the not knowing or seeing that makes us uncomfortable.

In today’s society we have been condition to believe that we have to see it before we believe it. We even speak that the possible is impossible without realizing what we have said. It’s been so deeply in grain in us that we repeat the negative without thinking about.  That’s because it has to make sense to us before we can believe that it is possible. Now, I’m sure you’re wondering where I am going with this, why am I talking about beliefs and seeing is believing; Well, there is a scripture that comes to mind when it comes to believing in the possible and taking that leap of faith. Hebrews 11:1 NLT says: What is faith? It is the confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen. It is the evidence of things we cannot see. So with that being said do you have the vision to see what isn’t in front of you; and because to you believe it so much, are you willing to take that leap of faith to make it happen? If your answer is yes, I invited you to take a leap of faith into the possibilities of making life easier for you.

Sometimes opportunities just drop in our laps, as this did for me. It couldn't have happen at a better time. I was looking for another job and came across and advertisement for posting links. So I took a looked into it a little further; as I began to search more into the program, it became clear to me this could be something I can do to gain some residual income. So I paid the money to start posting links and found out it wasn't what I thought it was supposed to be, so I opt out of the program. Now that’s normal, but if I haven’t taken that leap of faith, I wouldn't have come across something that I really love doing, and that’s blogging. Now I've been blogging for about two years off and on; but I never thought I could really make any money doing it; until I got a call from someone who is already doing it and is making enough money to take care of their basic necessities and more. Can you envision yourself doing what you love and making money at it with very little monies to start? Well it’s possible, if you’re willing to try.

I read a face book post from Girlfriendsingod.com the other day that said “Faith doesn't make things easy, it makes things possible.” Meaning that anything you try isn’t easy, but if you willing to try and believe with all your heart that the vision you have to make a difference in your life is there, than with faith nothing is impossible.

Now I’m beginning a new chapter in my life. Who would have thought I would be making money doing something I love. It’s rare that you get the chance to do something you really love to do; but when you pursue to do what you have been called to do, than the possibilities are endless.

Holding on to the Possibilities

Anything is possible if you choose to believe. You can accomplish whatever you desire to do. I believe the reason why most people don't explore their possibilities is because they are afraid of the unknown. Fear has a crippling effect on so many people and that fear keeps them in bondage to pursue their dreams. Past mistakes and failures for some can be very discouraging if they’re not around the right people. However, being around the right people can also be harmful to that person if they don’t understand the dream or vision. Sometimes it pays to keep some things out of the ears of others. Some people without realizing can say something negative that can be harmful or may even hinder the person’s dream or vision.

I often think about John the Baptist's father, Zechariah, who was made mute because he didn't believe in the possibility of his wife Elizabeth becoming pregnant. Now considering the circumstances at the time it wasn't likely for them to have artificial simulation, so the only way for them to conceive was the natural way; and seeing that they have tried for many years to have a child, Zechariah was a little puzzle how this was to be done. Instead of Zechariah just believing what Gabriel said, he was thinking too hard on how this would work instead of just believing. So instead of allowing Zechariah to speak negative words and infecting negative thoughts into his wife, Elizabeth, Gabriel shut his mouth until John the Baptist was born. It was during that time when Elizabeth was carrying the promise of her son, that Zechariah or anyone else who didn't believe couldn't abort the vision, the dream that was given to her. It was during that time that her cousin Mary came to assist her in the birth of her son, because she too was carrying a promise, a vision that and only her and Elizabeth could share and agree on. Both of them doing what seem impossible to others became possible for them, because they believed.

So believe that anything is possible and don't shatter the dreams or visions of others. Doing that could produce fear and abort the vision before they get started. Be like Zechariah, who unfortunately was made mute because he did not believe; but he watch and observed the miracles that were taking place in both his wife and niece. You know the cool thing about John the Baptist and Jesus’s conception and birth is that it was based on a promise that was given four years before, and the person who predicted the birth of these two men did not get to see the full manifestation, but they believed. 

Trusting

Now that the tears have been wiped away,

I can truly say that you’re luring me to trust you each day. 

Although today is tough for me comprehend. 

I still want you to direct me in your plans.

I need your help now more than I ever have before; 

as I grow older I’m beginning to understand a little more. 

This is the point where the circle ends. Each day is a new day 

and I’m willing to try again. Each day somewhere I miss 

the mark, but you’re the glue that doesn't allow me to 

fall completely apart. You hold me, you mold me, and put me back

together again. My will, emotions and thoughts are

being pulled towards you again. Your words, your thoughts,

are like a warm summer breeze that kisses my lips, and 

with one deep sigh, I can breathe again. We’re like lovers

who have grown apart; each one stands alone wanting 

each other’s heart. Standing there, waiting for each other 

to take the first step so we can join together and 

be one mind, one thought. I cry, you groan. 

I throw tempera- tantrums because I want my way. 

You stand there and look at me, and say;

 “I’m still here waiting for you to grow-up and conform to my ways. 

Yes, I’m standing, waiting on you. My arms are wide open. 

Come and rest in my will, my plans have not changed for you.  

I made a promise and the promise is not new, it’s still real. 

It’s the same promise that was made before you were in 

your mother’s womb. My love for you hasn't grown cold.

It’s deeper than you can imagine, because it’s not like any 

love you have ever known. It’s stain in blood that came 

with a high price and you’re cover from head to toe.

I brought you with my life.” 

As I listen, your voice fills my spirit again.

I can feel the warmth of your hug, and my tears 

fall to wash away the pain that try to take control again. 

Like child that is reunited with their parent, like a lover

who has found the other part of their soul, I find myself

at peace again. Knowing that we are one again, knitted 

together without one stitch lost. Etch in the record where

the needle plays in the grooves, but the sound doesn't 

play the rhythm and blues. It sings the songs of Solomon 

and his bride’s heart. We’re like lovers that who seek 

desperately to never be apart, trusting like a child who

knows his Father’s heart.

A Come Back

I have been away for quite some time, and would like to start posting again. Sometimes we have to go into a hiding place so God can work out the wrinkles in our life. Well, He's been using the iron and it's been hot. But I thank Him for working on me. I'm still a work in progress, but I'm better than I was before. 
I am learning to lean on Him like never before. His Grace and Mercy is beyond anything that I could ever image and I know for sure that I would not be alive if it wasn't for the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross for me.

Writer: Pamela Morris

It has been through the washing of His word that I have been transform into the person that He has destine me to be. God has, and is still putting His desires in me. He has wrote the vision and made it plain to me. All His promises are starting to manifest and now I see. He has given me dreams and visions that where buried deep in my inner soul, and now they are ready to be exposed.

Choice vs. Murder, Pro-life or Pro-choice; which one are you?

Before you read, please what the video and leave me a comment. I would like to hear you view.

There comes a time in our lives when we have to fight for the things or issues we believe in or are against. I always wondered what I would stand up for and would I lay down my life for it. Well I believe I have found it. I believe it is something we should all speak out against. We have allowed millions of lives to mutilated and thrown away for the sake of choice. We say that it is the woman’s choice to do whatever she wants to do with her body.  We say that if she can’t afford to take care of the child than it is her choice to choose if that person who is growing inside her should live. We say that if the woman has been raped or was molested and in the process conceived a child than she has the right to choose the life of the child. We say that if a woman’s life is at stake then she should choose her own. We say that if a child will have a deformity or is deform, than take them out of their misery. I say who are we to determine who should live and die, who are to say that this life will bring more harm than good. Who are we to say that their burden will become our own.

We have become a selfish generation that only is thinking of ourselves. We look at children as an inconvenience instead of a blessing. In Psalm 127:3 it clearly states and I quote:

“Don't you see that children are God's best gift?  
the fruit of the womb his generous legacy?
Like a warrior's fistful of arrows are the children
of a vigorous youth. Oh, how blessed are you parents,
with your quivers full of children!
Your enemies don't stand a chance against you;
you'll sweep them right off your doorstep. The Message

The children that we have allowed to be murdered because choice; were our legacy, they were the ones who was supposed to support, protect and bless us. Like it states in the last passage of verse 3, your enemies don’t stand a chance because the children are there to protect you. They are the balance as far as the young taking care of the old. Sigh, how can we stand as a nation if we don’t have anyone left to carry on the legacy?  We have allowed the propaganda of the women’s movement to cloud our thoughts. Just like Hitler did during WWII with the Germans, concerning the homosexuals and Jews. To even put them in the same category is beyond me, but that’s another topic that I choose not to embellish on at this time. Either way, neither group should have been murder for who they are. However when you look at what is going on now compare to what was happening back then, you can see the similarities. No one had any idea as to what was happening; they went along with the program. Trusting their leadership and not paying attention to what was happening before their very eyes. A whole generation of doctors, lawyer, musicians and scientists lost, a whole nation scared because they chose to look the other way. The Bible speaks on this, in Psalms 82:2-4 it says  

"Enough! You've corrupted justice long enough;
you've let the wicked get away with murder.
You're here to defend the defenseless,
to make sure that underdogs get a fair break;
your job is to stand up for the powerless,
and prosecute all those who exploit them."  The Message 

Like the Germans in WWII who wonder why there was so much black smoke coming from smoke stacks that was in their back yards. Not knowing or realizing that a whole generation people were being murder under their noises. We to have allowed a generation, a population of precious human beings to destroyed. These were our doctors, lawyers, senators and congressman who would have made a difference in society. They were the World Changers of this nation. The problem solvers who would have and could have very well changed and influence a nation even the world.

This is something that is so close to my heart. I cannot allow this to go unnoticed. I will not be a participant of murder. I will no longer close my eyes and continue to let this happen. I will become the voice for the unborn and for all those who have the right to live. We must speak out about this and let this generation know that it is wrong to take a life that is predestine for Gods will and glory on earth.

"Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves;
ensure justice for those who are perishing. Yes, speak up
 for the poor and helpless, and see that they get justice." Proverbs 31:8-9 NLT
