But more importantly, if you are honest, you will admit you are not the person you want to be. We can all put on a good face.

How’s Your Soul?- EGO

This year I’m starting Seele’s Friday post with a series on “How’s Your Soul?” It’s more personal where I will cover Ego, Brokenness, Spiritual Life, Dating & Marriage, Porn, Family, People and Money. When “I” or “self” is supreme in our lives there is no room for God.

Leadership 101- Nehemiah Style: Someone to Uphold You in 2017

Isn’t it interesting how one part of your life can be going so well- i.e. jobs, success, health, finances, free time BUT another part can be struggling or almost nonexistent- i.e. your relationships, your marriage, or your relationship with your kids?

To Joey, With Love- Movie Review

To Joey, With Love documents the lives of Joey Martin Feek and her husband Rory Feek. Faith. Hope. Love. These three words sum up the film To Joey, With Love. I already knew that To Joey, With Love was going to be a tear-jerker so brace yourselves for the tears that will come when watching this film. And while To Joey, With Love is about faith, hope, and love- it’s also a film about perspective: are you, am I, are we doing all that we can be doing in the time God is giving us?
