Why subscribe?

Why indeed, when you already get so many emails and newsletters and…?!?

Because, maybe like me, you need to be reminded to look for where God is at work in the seasons of your life, especially the most difficult ones. Perhaps you need a fresh dose of inspiration and encouragement, or just a short break from this roller-coaster world. Maybe a story or poem to refocus your heart. And, there will be writing updates and selections from my works in progress…

Soul Singings is a faith-based space where honest storytelling, poetic reflection, and spiritual encouragement help weary hearts see glimpses of God—even in life’s hardest seasons.

Be part of a community of souls looking for God in everyday life, and for the true joy that can only be found in Him!

Who am I?

I am Jen Niemann, a nurse, nanny, and caregiver turned writer.

I started Soul Singings to share stories of how I’m finding God along my own life journey, especially the harder parts such as mental health, caregiving, chronic illness, etc.

AND because my brain often thinks in rhyme, some poetry might get thrown in as well (don’t hold that against me!)

I write from the beautiful small town of Chagrin Falls, Ohio. When I’m not at my keyboard, you might find me outside gardening or taking worship walks, or inside reading, crocheting, and taking care of Jazzy the Cat. And praying my drafts save correctly!
