Who I'd like to meet:
Jesus, David from the Bible, Anne Lamott, Donald Miller, Sarah McLachlan, Idina Menzel, Shoshana Bean, Kelly Clarkson, Marc Broussard, C.S. Lewis, Will Ferrell, the producers of Wicked the musical so I can try out to be "Galinda." Also, if anyone knows Rachael Ray and wants me to meet her, you will see me spill into to a puddle of my own tears. I know she annoys some people, but she took me from being EasyMac challenged to somewhat of a domestic goddess. I give her only a little less credit than Jesus for saving my marriage as a young newlywed who knew nothing about being a wife.

Hi Friends and soon to be friends! My name is Jen! I am so glad you stopped by my page! I live in Orlando and I am a singer/songwriter/worship leader. My heart's passion and life's calling is to sing and use my voice to represent and glorify Christ and tell people about His unconditional love for everyone of us. I showed up in Christ's presence broken and scarred just like everyone else, a chief of sinners and marred by my own hypocrisy and self-righteousness, and left a new creation, healed and whole only by Jesus's grace and love, yet most days I am still a slow yielding work in progress! I am here with you as well, some days running the race of life in victory, and some days hobbling cumbersomely toward the finish line. My prayer is that I would continually reflect a Jesus that is love to everyone!
I am married for over 5 years to a quick-witted, alarmingly handsome man named Ryan Thigpen, who is the love of my life and my best friend. I have wonderful parents and a wonderful family who I love and adore. Anyone who knows me knows that I am one of THOSE dog owners of Petey and Brutus, my 2 yorkies. I love my job and my friends at Disney with the Voices of Liberty, and at Women of Faith! I love traveling to NYC, cooking, reading, watching The Office and Grey's Anatomy, and spending any day at the park with my husband and my dogs shootin' the breeze! Gimme a shout out friends! You know how we do! =)
Love and Peace......
