Sheila’s passion to live in awareness of God’s presence in our lives, every day—every moment, is at the heart of everything she does. She is the owner/manager of The Closer Walk Christian Bookstore in Fredericksburg, TX, a speaker, writer, portrait artist, mother, wife, & friend.
She is motivated by the belief that the physical world reflects the spiritual and events in our lives reveal God’s working. Sheila has experienced the joys of marriage and childbirth, success in business, and deep personal friendships. She’s also known the tragedies of the death of a spouse, serious family illness, divorce, and the doubts that accompany such pain. Through the joys and through the tragedies, she has tasted the amazing goodness of God’s intimate love.
In her sharing, Sheila demonstrates how God uses our anger, failures, joys, or blessings to invite us to know Him better. She will refresh your hope and inspire deeper trust in Jesus, the lover of your soul. Your hearts can be awakened to His tenderness and you can live embraced in God’s comfort and love.
