My Hope Radio: \u00a0In three or four sentences, how would you describe your journey of faith?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sonia Martinez: Everything had been great in my walk with God until I lost my husband in a terrible accident three years ago. That painful journey alone helped me to rely and depend more on Jesus. I realized life may have ups and downs but all things work together for good to them that love God.<\/p>\n

My Hope Radio: En tres o cuatro frases, \u00bfc\u00f3mo describieras tu caminar por fe?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sonia Mart\u00ednez: Durante mi caminar con el Se\u00f1or, todo marchaba bien hasta que mi amado esposo muri\u00f3 en un accidente hace 3 a\u00f1os. Esa jornada dolorosa me impuls\u00f3 a depender mas en Jes\u00fas. Me di cuenta que la vida tiene sus altos y bajos, pero todas las cosas sirven para bien para aquellos que aman a Dios.<\/p>\n

MHR: \u00a0What is your favorite Scripture in the Bible?<\/strong><\/p>\n

SM: I just love, love, love, Psalm 32:8: \u201cI will instruct thee in the way which thou shalt go, I will guide thee with mine eye.\u201d If He is guiding me with His eyes, I have to keep looking to Him every second of my life!<\/p>\n

MHR: \u00bfCual es su escritura favorita de la Biblia?<\/strong><\/p>\n

SM: \u00a1Como me encanta el Salmo 32:8! “Te har\u00e9 entender y te ense\u00f1ar\u00e9 el camino en que debes andar, sobre ti fijar\u00e9 mis ojos.” Esto me indica que yo debo mantener mi mirada en El en todo tiempo para recibir su direcci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

MHR: What is your music background? (Who influenced you, when did you start singing, etc…)<\/strong><\/p>\n

SM: My mom says even as a child I would stand on top of the washing machine and using a hairbrush as a mic I would sing till I drove everyone crazy! When I came to church, the first Christian voices that really inspired me were Maribel Mendizabal, Jeanna Macey, and Shara McKee. I truly admire these ladies.<\/p>\n

MHR: \u00bfCu\u00e1les han sido las influencias en tu vida suya las cuales te han tra\u00eddo al punto musical donde te encuentras hoy?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

SM: Mi madre dice que aun desde peque\u00f1a me encantaba pararme arriba de la lavadora, y usando un cepillo de cabello en mis manos como micr\u00f3fono, cantaba hasta volver a todos locos. De adulta, durante mis primeros d\u00edas en la iglesia, escuch\u00e9 las voces de 3 siervas de Dios que realmente fueron de bendici\u00f3n, y las cuales fueron mi gu\u00eda al cantar m\u00fasica cristiana. Estas fueron Maribel Mendizabal, Jeanna Macey y Shara McKee.<\/p>\n

MHR: What specific themes do you cover in your songs? Why?<\/strong><\/p>\n

SM: \u00a0Due to real life events and circumstances that we sometimes have to endure, my song themes include everything from forgiving others to being warriors for Jesus. Just as the Lord speaks to me with every song He gives me, I want the world to feel the same.<\/p>\n

MHR: \u00bfCu\u00e1les son las temas especificas en sus canciones, y porqu\u00e9?<\/strong><\/p>\n

SM: Cada canto que he escrito ha sido por alg\u00fan evento real o una circunstancia que he atravesado en mi vida. Los temas incluyen un poco de todo, perdonar, la misericordia de Dios, buscando un valiente, etc…<\/p>\n

MHR: Do you write your own songs? (If so, discuss your usual songwriting process.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

SM: I have written mostly all of the songs and the funny thing is I have written most of them during my lowest valleys. I would shut the door, place my little Casio keyboard on my lap, grab any paper laying around and just dive into the Lord\u2019s presence.<\/p>\n

MHR: \u00bfEscribes las canciones que grabas?<\/strong><\/p>\n

SM: Por la gracia de Dios he escrito casi todos los cantos en mis 2 albums y lo mas extra\u00f1o es que la mayor\u00eda de ellos los he escrito durante los valles mas bajos en mi vida. Me encerraba en mi habitaci\u00f3n, con mi pianito Casio, y en cualquier papel que encontraba cerca empezaba a escribir, y me perd\u00eda en la presencia del Se\u00f1or!<\/p>\n

MHR: Where can we listen, purchase, and connect with you?<\/strong><\/p>\n
