Melissa Moreno....WE ALL MISS YOU HONEY!!!
I AM SONJA:I was born in North Dakota on the Standing Rock Indian reservation.I come from a large family of six brothers and three sisters. My Mom was a full blooded Sioux (RIP Mama) and my dad is a tall, handsome Russian German who is currently living in Sturgis,SD....(the home of that huge biker rally). Therefore----- I look Hispanic to a lot of people here and almost daily people break out in Spanish to me.....it is prettttttttttttttttttty frustrating....I say "Mi no habla Espanol" about 5 times a day......annnnnnnnnnnnnnnyways.....
I married in 1978 at the age of 19 to Art Morrell and had some verrrrrrry beautiful, perfect children with him (we lost one (miscarriages) in 1983 and 1987....my oldest is:Jules/Jubes(the nickname I gave her)
/Julie (English for Julia).........
She lives in Texas and growing up she was always the world's greatest big sis because she cared for her little brother's and sister's when I separated from her Dad in 1992....she was the one to cook and clean (along with Maria and Laura of course) but she made me verrrrrrrrry proud when she graduated from HS even with allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll the pressures and hardships she had at home.
She also got a scholarship to the University of California Santa Barbara and majored in some kind of Marine something I don't remember....but I remember it blew me away when she told me what her major was....it just sounded so hard. She is definately my hero....I love her dearly for she is a beautiful daughter and I really would have been blessed just to have her but.........
Julie blessed me with my second Grandchild and here she is in all her Glory : ) Her name is Karly......
MOM'S LITTLE "DORA"
COMPUTER WHIZ LIKE MOM

MOM'S LITTLE "PIRATE"
I had a second daughter: "Ia" (Julie used to call her that when she was little cause she couldn't say Maria),Mariquita, Maria is my second-born who sings in three different bands and has a full-time job in the Bay area.........
WITH WEST GRAND BOULEVARD
WITH "LA GENTE"....FORMERLY "THE PEOPLE"
WITH "ROCK MY SOUL"
WITH ONE OF HER BEST FRIENDS...KATY.....
If that wasn't enough God gave me my third daughter, Laura Lynn....She is 28 now and gave me my first Grandchild...my Heart,my Grandson called,Marc Patrick who is 9 now......
MY SON-IN-LAW,MOE....I LOVE HIM....HE IS ONE OF THE BEST PEOPLE TO COME ALONG IN LAURA'S LIFE.....Laura and he have bent over backwards to try and help me raise my sons and if it wasn't for them, I don't know what I would have done!!!! If I had the money$$$ I would send them to a vacation spot of their choice and do so much more for them.......

"Dimebag Darrell".......He's dead now but my Son idolizes him....
......my "Michael Thomas" was born after I prayed to God to let me have another son so my son would not grow up without a brother.From the time he was born until now he is a gentle soul who would die for you once he loves you but do not do him wrong because he is loyal and expects loyalty in return.I nicknamed him "Miples" and he is a really unique man who I admire and adore. He and Dan are best friend's......
THIS IS MIKE AT ONE OF DAN'S GIG'S LAST YEAR.....DAN IS IN THE GRAY....PLAYING THE GUITAR.....

Guadalupe or Lupita is now 20(21 in August)years old. She is a crew chief for F-15's and is currently in Afghanistan but will be shipped back to England soon. I am sooooooooooo proud of her. She is strong-willed and chases after her dreams with all that is within her.I named her after my mother-in-law,Guadalupe Tamayo Morrell.
Her Grandma is an awesome woman full of love and tenderness. She treated me like her own daughter when I was married to her son,Art.
Ana Rose ...my "baby" will be 19 this year in July....I named her after (Rose) my maternal Grandma who is Native American and very well known on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation. Ana was always a very intelligent girl and very gentle,giving and loving. I have not seen her or Lupita since April 2000. Ana is living in Texas with her big sister,Julia.....and we hope to see eachother soon....
.............and Jubes/Jules had Karly (they are above with their Mommy's)----they are two awesome and perfect grandkids; Marc who turned 8 in March and Karly who turned 4 last September. I have some beautiful kids and grandkids. Thank You, Jesus.
.. MY JESUS RULES MY HEART.....I LOVE THE WAY HE LOVES ME......
It's only for a moment you are mine to hold
The plans that heaven has for you
Will all too soon unfold
So many different prayers I'll pray
For all that you might do
But most of all I'll want to know
You're walking in the truth
And If I never told you
I want you to know
As I watch you grow
I pray that God would fill your heart with dreams
And that faith gives you the courage
To dare to do great things
I'm here for you whatever this life brings
So let my love give you roots
And help you find your wings
May passion be the wind
That leads you through your days
And may conviction keep you strong
Guide you on your way
May there be many moments
That make your life so sweet
Oh, but more than memories
I pray that God would fill your heart with dreams
And that faith gives you the courage
To dare to do great things
I'm here for you whatever this life brings
So let my love give you roots
And help you find your wings
It's not living if you don't reach for the sky
I'll have tears as you take off
But I'll cheer as you fly
"Those who guard their mouths preserve their lives; those who open wide their lips will one day come to ruin." -Proverbs 13:3
I am the backslider and struggle with bad habits I would rather not disclose to the public....however I am real and will not/do not pretend to be something I am not. I will be the first to tell you I am a mess up and farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr from perfect. I am a very blessed woman of God because He has given me several gifts and they are:
1.THE GIFT OF INTERCESSION
2.HOSPITALITY
3.TEACHING
4.DISCERNMENT OF SPIRITS
5.(GET THIS ONE..I LOVE IT!!!!)........ THE GIFT OF PROPHECY
6.HEALING
7.FAITH
I TOOK THE TEST ON GIFTS AND SCORED AS HIGH AS YOU CAN GET ON THE FIRST 4 GIFTS AND THE REST WERE SECOND IN LINE.....GOD DOES NOT TAKE SOMETHING BACK ONCE HE GIVES IT TO YOU---HIS GIFTS ARE IRREVOCABLE. HE IS SUCH A GOOD GOD.
"'I the LORD search the heart and examine the mind, to reward a man according to his conduct, according to what his deeds deserve.' Like a partridge that hatches eggs it did not lay is the man who gains riches by unjust means. When his life is half gone, they will desert him, and in the end he will prove to be a fool." -Jeremiah 17:10-11
Who I'd like to meet: ....JUST CHRISTIANS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD AND ESPECIALLY VICTORY OUTREACH MEMBERS......
