A woman who went through her own personal lockdown says times of isolation can bring out new opportunities
Sheila Jacobs became seriously ill her early 30s, forcing her to reassess her life direction.
Confined to her home and unable to work, Ms Jacobs was facing a crossroads.
She told Premier News, the hard times allowed her to focus on what was important and what was not.
Despite having no idea how she would make a living, she committed her future to the Lord, and waited to see what happened next.
Out of the blue someone she knew in publishing phoned and asked if she had ever edited books.
That one call changed the course of her life, having had a full time job as a freelance writer and editor of Christian books ever since.
She says God’s plans are often not what we expect, and can lead to surprising outcomes.
