Home

Hello,

I’m so excited that you have visited my website… Welcome and I hope you feel right at “HOME”… I wanted to share, in short, what God is doing in my life these days…

My husband, Karl, and I moved to the Oklahoma City, OK area back in December 2006… We lived in Sacramento, California …we got married, raised children, have grandchildren, had jobs, did ministry and enjoyed L.I.F.E. in California for decades… about 4 to be exact…

About 2 years ago the Lord placed on our hearts to move to Oklahoma and to start a ministry… We felt the Lord calling us to minister to couples and for me to mentor women…

We packed up and left our lives as we knew it for so long… We embraced and kissed our children and grandchildren with love and much tears and heartfelt goodbyes…we also said goodbye to our extended family, lifetime friends, jobs and church family… with a God-given dream and a vision in our hearts we headed down the freeway to Okalahoma… Wow, that is L.I.F.E. = Living in Faith Everyday…

Karl and I felt kind of like Abraham, putting our Isaac on the altar…our very gifts God gave us he asked us to place on the altar… Those that know us know this was no easy or quick decision but truly felt that this was a God-given direction… As we are obedient and serve the Lord with gladness then we truly can be content in whatever “State” we are in… Smile…

After arriving in Ok., we immediately set up House to make it our “HOME”, started attending a wonderful church called “The Bridge” and then began connecting with people and living Life = Living In Faith Everyday…

The walk of Faith is exciting and adventurous and sometimes even a little scary … it’s like stepping out on nothing and landing on something…

We believe what the word says, “Without Faith it is impossible to please God”, Hebrews 11:6… “Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God”… we test it and try it and see if it is of God… “The righteous shall live by Faith”, Romans 1:17… “Faith is the substances of things hoped for but the evidence of things not yet seen.” Hebrews 11:1 …

I was raised in a Christian home and my father was a pastor and my mother a Bible teacher and mentor… As you can tell that I am from a family of ministry…One of the Scriptures our family always quoted, besides the salvation message, is Proverbs 3:4-5 , Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and lean not unto your own understanding, but in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths.” …that is truly how our family has lived… We make our plans but allow the Lord to order our footsteps…

Karl and are not reckless people or ones who throw our lives to the wind without counting the cost… we are committed to the Lord, our children, family and friends and are people who worked at our jobs for decades… but as children of God we read His Word, pray, live passionately for Him and follow His footsteps, He says, “Come – Follow Me and I will make you Fishers of Men”…

What a joy to serve Christ… L.I.F.E. = Living In Faith Everyday… that is what this ministry is all about… That is what L.I.F.E. is all about…The righteous shall live by Faith… We study and read the Bible and find out how the people lived by Faith and put their trust, hope and lives in the hands of the true and living God…

I cannot do life alone so, I put my Faith and Trust in Jesus, the “author and perfecter of my Faith”, Hebrews 12:2…

Thanks for hearing my heart and I can’t wait till the next time we chat… Blessings in Abundance as you walk in the steps of Jesus living L.I.F.E. to the fullest in Jesus’ name…

Loving Jesus and You,

Dorcas
