Glorifying God

©2013 drkate

Sinners that we are, when we come to the Lord and confess these, ask for forgiveness and guidance, we are free, and are given the individual liberty and freedom to Glorify Him in the things we do in this secular world. We create a record in the face of tyranny, in the face of the doom forecast even from our friends.

Rest in Peace

Into this world are born many of great strength and resolve, who become our inspirations in the work of daily life in Glorifying God by the work we do and in our faith in His works.  In this post, I would like to remember one such patriot, Ramona Lisa Estrada Docteur, a patriot, a child of God, who left this earth too soon for us, but perfectly in His time.

Ramona Lisa Estrada Docteur

HAMILTON – Ramona Lisa Estrada Docteur, 58, of Hamilton, peacefully went home to Jesus, Monday, March 11, 2013 at 10 p.m. in her cabin around friends. Ramona Lisa Estrada Docteur was born at 6:15 a.m. to loving parents Fred and Mary Estrada on Sept. 30, 1954 in Calexico, Calif. She was a born leader in everything she did from her drill team in high school, regional vice-president for with her independent financial services business and of course the conservative movement here in Hamilton. Mona met Ted Docteur, and he brought her to Darby. They spent 21 years together, and Mona learned to love Montana as much as her then husband, Ted. How her friends will always remember her is her fearless approach to standing for what was right and each person’s God-given sovereignty. It was a privilege to know Mona Lisa Estrada Docteur. Her strength of character, love of God, and passion for personal liberty defined her mission here in this life. In 2008 Mona organized the Bitterroot Valley’s Celebrating Conservatism. This grassroots coalition of everyday folks worked to protect and maintain strong principles of liberty. Her dynamic personality and willingness to mentor leaders inspired other communities to establish similar freedom loving groups.

She is survived by her two older sisters, Cecilia Moons, Olga Valenzuela, her two younger brothers Daniel and Anthony Estrada, many nieces and nephews and her dog Boboh.

Mona was a strong woman of God, meeting weekly with women of faith to minister to each another. Her greatest desire was to glorify God wherever He placed her. She sacrificed time and talents to bless her community through love, education and leadership. To simply describe this spitfire was “Boot decked beauty, packin’ heat and givin’ hugs.” We love and miss you Mona. Let freedom ring and be still and knowing He is God.

Mona left very clear direction on how she wanted her loved ones to honor her life. She only asked each of us to go to God and find out how he wants us to glorify him and then have the courage to do it by following the Holy Spirit as our guide, for that is the legacy she left each of us.

Come celebrate Mona’s life and the life each of us have left to glorify God here on Earth. The funeral services will be Saturday the March 23 at the Assembly of God Church at 1 p.m. Following these services there will be a graveside ceremony at the Grantsdale Cemetery off of Sleeping Child and Cemetery Road in Grantsdale. Immediately following there will be a potluck and barbecue at the Assembly of God Church. All are welcome to this celebration. If anyone would like to contribute they can bring a dish to share. That night to round up the day of celebration we invite you to join us at The Eagles for dancing in Mona’s honor. Thank you to all of you that loved and supported Mona.

Mona we love you we miss you and we honor you for the change agent you were in all of our lives.

Rejoice in this life!

Knowing and Believing

…a lesson shared…

There is a separation that occurs when all of the illusions, excuses, and lies are stripped away, laid bare, exposed; and the Truth opens up and blinding light shines in. And belief becomes knowing. At first startled and reactive, initial reactions can only be called temporary insanity. For the Truth has been there, the belief in tact and strong.  But the Truth is not seen until you know.

Knower: 1. To perceive directly; grasp in the mind with clarity or certainty.2. To regard as true beyond doubt 3. To have a practical understanding of, as through experience; be skilled in 4. To have fixed in the mind 5. To have experience of 6. To perceive as familiar; recognize; To be acquainted with 7. To be able to distinguish; recognize as distinct; 8. To discern the character or nature of

Believer: 1.To trust what one has heard or seen; To accept as true or real 2. To credit with veracity 3. To expect or suppose; think; To have firm faith, especially religious faith.4. To have faith, confidence, or trust 5. To have confidence in the truth or value of something 6. To have an opinion; think

This is important in our day–if we are to chart the next path we must know, see, and seek the Truth.

We believe we live in a Constitutional Republic; how much more do we need to have happen to know that that Republic has been overthrown? We believe we may have been responsible in large part for the fall of our Republic.  When will we know it and repent for this great loss? We know that Obama is ineligible for the presidency; Congress, the media, and the obots only believe he is eligible.

In matters of the spirit, of faith and the spiritual, there are many who say they are believers.  But do you really know?  The Disciples were believers, but had continuous doubt, until they saw Jesus risen from the dead in Galilee.  They all died as martyrs as his witnesses on earth.  And then there are examples , like  the Centurion, of belief and faith so great that it led to knowing  Jesus’ grace and mercy would be shown upon asking.

It has been said many times that America would not know how far adrift our Nation has become until there was some great economic collapse, something so dreadful that it would force coming face to face with that truth, with ourselves, and with the role we have played in bringing us to this point.  It is our rebellious nature that has caused us to layer ourselves with every possible excuse and to keep away the inevitable as life and events unfold as we were told… while we continue being busy making other plans.

In the journey that has been this blog thus far, all the historical research and learning  has done is  to now show me how much unlearning was necessary to develop my present awareness and understanding.  As I lamented but could not believe the losses suffered I searched for the truth and a thread of that truth led directly to me.  My responsibility, reflecting over actions and reactions, paths directed seemingly for this moment now.  Facing the very worst of those fears, when the final illusion acting as a reprieve is gone, I become a knower.

The personal, moral, political, spiritual worldly revolution of all time is underway.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
