AWOE PROFILES: KINSHIP

Age: 37... I think God has a sense of humor, calling a 37 year old,
mother of 2, to front a band... What can I say? I’m being
obedient...

Overused Phrase: “That’s Insane!”

a few)

WDJD: So much.... About 9 years ago my husband and I decided to
divorce. My son was about 2 years old at the time. It was amicable.
We just felt that we weren’t happy together and would be better off
apart. At the time neither of us were going to church. Shortly
thereafter, we were invited to a small church in Brooklyn. The music
was too loud, the preaching offended me, and I didn’t understand a
lot of what was going on, but God spoke to me. What my marriage was
missing was God. I kept coming back. At first with my son and then as the
years passed with my husband. We will be celebrating our 16th Wedding
Anniversary next year and we now have 2 beautiful children, Daniel age
11 and Gracie age 5. We never speak of divorce... NEVER!!!! So, what
did Jesus do? He saved my marriage...

WDJD: At the age of 18, I was a drug dealer addicted to cocaine,
completely out of control. At the very young age of 27, my heart
stopped! That didn't stop me from getting high thou gh. One night I
got so high I cried out to God for help. I took my crack pipe to a
church and put it on the altar and asked God to take it away and He did.

Overused phrase: Wooooooow!
Must see movie: Transformers
Cereal: Fruity Pebbles

Favorite Scripture: 1 Timothy 4:12
WDJD: Growing up as a little kid wasn't easy. But as I got older, my mom and I started finding our way to church somehow. I got saved and the age of 9, didn’t commit my life until I was 11. For some reason, God chose to bless me with the ability to play all the instruments in church. I’m 15 now and as I go thru hardships, I try to praise God in any way that I can to become the young woman in God that I’m supposed to be. E’ Nuff said..
 Name: Melissa Pavia

Favorite Scripture: Romans 8:5
Most memorable concert experience: Revelation Generation 2006. It was an outdoor concert on a farm in New Jersey and it was pouring rain so we were slipping and sliding all over the place we ended up being covered in mud. There was no music because it got rained out but it was really fun!
WDJD: I was raised in the church but walked away over 10 years ago. A
little less than two years ago I met Jackie and shortly thereafter found my way back to God. It has not been easy but God has confirmed to me over and over again that if I trust in Him, He is faithful. The life I was living just 2 years ago is so different from the life I lead now, that the person I used to be is almost unrecognizable. He continues to open and sometimes shut doors for me and I continue to seek him.
What did Jesus do? He gave me a new beginning in my life and a new song in
my heart.
