Blessed by Sheila
Posted by Taylor Engel on May 07, 2010 at 7:25 am
Tuesday marked the date of our second annual Tyler Call Her Blessed Luncheon and it was a wonderful time! Harvey Hall filled quickly with women and men in springtime colors gathering to hear Sheila Walsh’s story and to enjoy community with one another. Co-Chairs Rocky and Carrie Gill had everyone laughing about Facebook and in the next moment, led a meaningful time of prayer for the fatherless children in this world. Dr. Sasha Vukelja, a local oncologist and author, shared a bit of her testimony through a video interview. Her book, Seeds, was for sale after the luncheon and Dr. V graciously donated all of the proceeds to Christian Homes & Family Services.
And then we sat back and listened to Sheila Walsh speak of her life and what God has taught her throughout many difficult circumstances. Sheila shared her story of trying to find approval and success by burying herself in the “Christian lifestyle.” Sheila’s testimony, spoken with such honesty and vulnerability, inspired and brought hope to all of us who have fought similar battles. Her song “Let Go” sends a powerful message of giving up control and letting the Lord take our hand. Our time with Sheila was blessed. She lifted and encouraged our hearts and shared her beautiful story and voice with us. To read more about Sheila, please click here.
Call Her Blessed 2010 would not be possible without generous donors, active board members, volunteers, sponsors and Sheila’s beautiful ability to communicate her heart with 500 strangers. Christian Homes & Family Services is beyond grateful for the funds donated and we are already looking forward to Call Her Blessed 2011 and all that is to come!
