I did not realize that Jordin Sparks had participated in the Gospel Music Association's, Music in the Rockies right here in Colorado.
According to Kevin Jackson from the Christian Post Reporter,
Sparks, 17, has strong ties to the GMA. In 2004, she competed in the GMA Music in the Rockies– a showcase event for aspiring, often unsigned, songwriters and artists in the Christian music industry – and was the Overall Spotlight Winner at the 2004 GMA Academy in Washington, D.C., a feat which she listed on her online “Idol” profile as her “proudest moment in life so far.”
I sensed there were a few Christians in the show, but I did not know all this. It is always exciting to Christians engaged in culture--and doing so with excellence! (I wonder if she was homeschooled?)

My friend's daughter is best friend's with Jordin and yes, she is homeschooled and went to the same co-op we signed up for this fall! She attended a private school until 2 years ago when her mom began homeschooling. She has such a sweet and humble heart - we need to pray that it stays that way with all the influences she's going to be bombarded with. Let's pray her testimony stays strong! (She has also sung in many pro-life rallies here in AZ and toured with Micheal W. Smith)
Thanks for sharing that--we will pray for her. What a talented girl and sweet spirit!
