Introducing Jen Thorn
FUN FACT: I will be on Focus on the Family tomorrow and Friday talking about the message of LET. IT. GO. {basically how NOT to be a control freak and trust God instead.}
We talk about marriage, mothering and the home. (Not that I have any experience being controlling….cough….cough…) Click here to find a station or listen online.
***************************************************************************
This summer, I spoke at the Women Living Well conference. I got to be with some women I already knew and I got to meet some new ones too.
Jen Thorn is one of my favorite new friends!
Jen is a blogger over at Good Morning Girls. She also just this week started her own blog.
I just knew my readers would want to know about her place so I asked if I could interview her here today.
AND….I just knew you all would want to show her some cyber love so be sure to read to the end where I tell you how you can help out and I also give away some freebie books and resources to five of you who do!
Now…meet Jen!
Her bio in her own words:
I grew up in Germany and spent a few years as a missionary kid in Africa. I ended up at Moody Bible Institute where I met my husband and best friend. We have been married 16 years now and have 4 children (12, 9, 5, 3 ). Grandma and Grandpa live with us as well as our two little guinea pigs (Zoe and Chloe) and our Pitt/Australian Shepherd dog Lucy(Fur).
I love theology and have a passion to help women take their walk with God to a deeper level. I also have an obsession with anything that has to do with Egypt
As of this summer I have acquired an addiction to sweet tea and horchata.
INTERVIEW:
I love theology. I especially love reading the old puritan authors like John Bunyan, Thomas Watson, Richard Sibbes, etc. I favor these writers because they had a way of taking deep theological truths and applying them to the everyday person. That is what I desperately need and want for my life.ย There is immense blessings to be had when we tackle some of the harder passages of scriptures or an aspect of God’s character with the aim of experiencing it. But I am very forgetful so I need to write things down as a way to remember and work through issues. This is why I have started this blog. While writing to remember I also hope to be an encouragement to others who may be learning or going through the same things I am. It is good to know that we are not alone in our journey.
That is what I want. I want to fill my heart and mind with right thoughts about God. We will look at topics like godliness, the fear of the Lord, meekness, anger, and the character of God just to name a few.
Ok friends… please help me show some bloggy love to Jen. I’m giving away a copy of our new Proverbs 31 devotional book Encouragement for Today along with a $15 Target gift card {to buy a journal and pretty pen orย somethingย else you need for spending time alone with God} to FIVE of you who do any of the following:
I “Like” her page on Facebook.

Love GMG! So glad Jen started blogging! I commented on her blog, liked the FB page, and am now following on IG and Twitter. Thanks for the info and the opportunity!
I’m so excited that Jen has a blog!! I commented on her bog (or at least I *think* I did…something weird was going on with the log-in or something). I also “liked” her on Facebook. I would follow her on twitter and Instagram, but I don’t have either.
Thanks for bring her to our attention! :) I’m super excited about it!
I am getting addicted to all you girls’ blogs. I just love them and you are blessing my socks off. Also, in about a week or so, I am starting a blogging class for school. I originally took it for the convenience of it being an online class because I am traveling to Cali for my first grandbaby’s arrival. Now I am super excited to learn how to blog. Maybe I will become a blessing in others lives like y’all are in mine.
I liked her on Facebook! Would love to read th book.
Thanks for the opportunity! I liked Jen on Facebook and left her a comment!
