Born into a musical family, Sheila began singing publically at age 2 and playing the piano at age 5 1/2.  Through years of loving instruction, her passion for music grew in conjunction with her faith in Jesus Christ.  As a young teen, music became a prayer language for Sheila, the way that she could best communicate her emotions, ideals and dreams; music became the method by which Sheila could most easily enter into the presence of the Lord.  Since she desires for others to be able to also experience the life-changing power and peace of a relationship with Jesus, leading worship in corporate or intimate settings has become Sheila's primary passion.  This website is designed to facilitate personal meditation and worship for YOU, so that you can enter into the presence of a Holy God.  Listen to Sheila's original compositions which reflect her journey of faith; let the soothing sounds of the music wash over your spirit.  Then, through guided devotionals, journaling prompts and thought-provoking questions, you will have an opportunity to develop a deeper connection to God as well as a clearer perception of yourself as you relect on the music and its application to your own journey of faith.

To facilitate being a stay-at-home-mom, Sheila began teaching private piano lessons 15 years ago.  Now, sons Colton and Garrett are 14 and 12 years old and Sheila still teaches 25+ students weekly, attempting to give them encouragement and a model of faith in addition to nurturing a love of music.
 Worship ministry is really her passion, and the Lord has opened many doors in the last several years.  Sheila is a co-founder of a non-profit women's ministry called Hepzibah Word & Worship, Inc., which seeks to raise the standard of Christian living and provide women with an accurate understanding of their identity in Jesus Christ (Isaiah 62:4).  The team presents dynamic women's conferences  including contemporary worship, Biblical teaching - infused with life applications and side-splitting humor - and an hour-long musical drama which Sheila wrote and produced.  See more information at www.delightfullyrestored.com. 
Sheila also leads the praise team at her church, and is a sought-after speaker/musician at area retreats.  One particular retreat, Exploring Healing Prayer, has been a major emphasis of her ministry, as she has served on the leadership team for the last 8 years.  The principles of applying Christ's healing power through prayer to all areas of our lives (physical, emotional, psychological, relational, and spiritual) has literally transformed the way that Sheila uses prayer in personal life as well as in ministry.  These prayerful principles are found imbedded into her music, which draws listeners into an attitude of worship and introspection.

Since 2005, Sheila has composed and produced 3 CDs of original piano and vocal music and is currently working on 2 more albums in the studio.  Recently, she has begun to market her music and devotionals on line at www.sheilalloydlive.com. 
 There have been many trials along the way, including a special needs child. But God is so faithful!   (Isaiah 42:16)
