About Me
My name is Dora Marrero. I created the DoraMarrero.com and the MovingWithJesus.com to expand my ministry as a new Christian affiliated with the Iglesia Cristiana Hispana de Orlando, and also to expand my worldly business, which is as a Realtor® in the Greater Orlando Area.
The difference between my life before Christ and after Christ is that as a Christian I have become aware that in reality I am a spirit encased in a very imperfect body, and I can detach myself from the behaviors that had become a part of me. The difference is not that I never do anything wrong; the difference is that I know that it's not the real me. By going to Jesus's feet I can have a fresh start. And that's a good feeling. I attack the problem, I don't attack me, nor do I attack anybody that reflects my imperfections by showing them to me.
For instance, I thank God I don't get angry or upset like I used to before I was born again. Now I know that my faults are not me, my sins are not me, my stress is not me. I believe that the real me is what He says I am: His child, with all the benefits that entails. For instance, when I fall short of His mark, all that is required of me is that I humbly admit it and come quickly to Him and let him minister to me. He never fails to reveal to me the deeper meanings of my life, and He never fails to show me that in His loving mercy He will correct my mistakes.
Judging myself was a bad habit that was ingrained in me for years. Now I know that I cannot judge anyone, not even my self. Judging belongs to the Lord, for only He knows the intentions behind our actions. As a Christian, I simply go to Him and ask Him to show me my deeper self. He is always ready to work with us if we allow Him. What a blessings it is to trust God's promise and rest in the knowledge that I am saved through His son Jesus Christ.
"The peace that surpasses all understanding" is one of the most precious gifts I've received as a child of God. It allows me to remain calm in the middle of the unexpected unpleasant and stressful situations of every day life. In the deepest part of me I know that no matter what comes my way I am not alone. Something wonderful is always there to keep me company: the presence of the precious
Holy Spirit
To me that is simply priceless.
I was born in the Dominican Republic. My parents were the children of Spanish immigrants whose roots could be traced to the fifteenth century. At age sixteen, I came to New York. I was a Catholic "Daughter of Mary" and working with Young & Rubicam Advertising Agency when I married the father of my children -- six years after arriving in the States. Between diapers, homemade goods and tennis games, I finished my degree on Sales & Marketing.
We founded Marrero Tool Sales Company, which, thanks to the Lord, turned to be quite successful. My official title was secretary/treasurer in charge of public relations and resource allocation. In reality I did whatever needing to be done to aid the business and the family. We lived in Orange County, a rural area about sixty miles north of the city of New York. There, among the wild lilies in spring, and a few feet of winter snow, wondering deer and the smell of homemade bread, grew the four children the good Lord gave us to raise.
Seven years ago, I came to Orlando looking for the tropical warm sun I had left behind so long ago. Little did I expect what God had in store for me: first He gave me a brand new career as a licensed real estate professional, and then He gave me brand new life as a newborn Christian. My life is centered on Christ and this is expressed, in part, through my involvement in my church, Iglesia Cristiana Hispana de Orlando, which is a Disciples of Christ denomination. I was an Usher for two years before I was honored with the vestments of Deacon. My responsibilities as a Deacon include, among other things, working with the body of Deacons to minister to families in our community.
