About Me
Hello, I’m Joleen Nickell, founder and owner of The Virtuous Soul
All my life I’ve loved to write and share my life with others. But there was a time in my life that was so bleak and dark, I didn’t want to write. For about 3 years I was faced with a deep, dark depression that infiltrated every aspect of my life. It got to the point where I didn’t want to live anymore. After a suicide attempt, I was led to church by a good friend. That was the day God lifted me up out of the muck and mire.
Did my circumstances change that day? No, but my life had. I wanted to live for the LORD and tell others about how He helped me. Eventually, I found myself with a new job and a new outlook on life. It was time to start writing again! I’ve posted my stories on Facebook, but after some encouragement from God, I decided to build this website to share my story with all of you. You matter and you are a blessing to me and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for visiting my blog!

Grief, profound sadness and utter affliction beyond our control. I’ve grieved many times before. I have grieved over the loss of my grandpa. I’ve grieved over choices I’ve made in the past. But the worst grief I’ve ever endured is the grief over the loss of a relationship with my youngest daughter. This grief has…

Because Of Who He Is
Why We Worship God I’m currently reading a book on how to worship the LORD and one particular statement has stood out in my mind over the past couple of weeks. The author explained that worship isn’t for us, it is for God. Throughout my years as a believer, I always felt like I needed…
