Sarah Shields-Ms. WorldwideVT

Hi all, I am Sarah Shields from Grand Bay, AL. and I am the mom of some amazing kids. I am a girlie girl but I hunt and fish and can change the oil in my own truck too (my daddy made sure of that). Here is a small window into my life.

Growing up in my house we were at church every time the door was cracked. I was singing before I could talk. I come from a long line of gospel singers and music directors. That is probably what helped guide me to my calling of leading and teaching music in the church. 
In addition to pageantry some people don’t know that I am accomplished singer in the Gospel and Country music industry. I have sang with and opened for some of the biggest names in Gospel and Country music. 
I have founded a Non-profit organization called Bears that Care. It provides stuffed animals to law enforcement and fire department personnel to comfort people in traumatic situations. 

I am extremely active in my community. You can normally find me at any event going on. Whether it is a walk or a meal for charity or making appearances at a pageant or even cheering on my friends and littles at events. 

But where my heart is in the community is with our homeless population. My platform is called Open hearts Loving Hands. What that means to me is that we should all have open hearts for those around us and we should serve with loving hands. Matthew, 25:40 ‘whatever you did for one of the least of these of mine, you did for me.’ There are so many homeless that are judged because of their situation that is beyond their control. Instead of judging we should give a loving hand up because you never know when you will be in a similar situation.  Giving to others and helping those in need is the greatest gift you can give of yourself. You can make a difference even in the smallest way and you can change the world!
