The Antidote for Fear and Anxiety: What to Do When You Fear the Future

July 28, 2015 by Kelly Langston

The Antidote for Fear is Prayer

Your child cannot sleep through the night. When anxiety places its cold hand on our shoulder because of a difficult circumstance and the future seems unsure, we are presented with a choice: Keep on struggling in fear ... or choose to … [Read more...]

The Most Beautiful Worship… And How You Can Experience It, Too!

June 23, 2015 by Kelly Langston

The Most Beautiful Worship

I have a confession: I’ve been struggling during my worship service lately. If that sounds strange, please let me explain … From a very early age, I have known that I was created to worship the Lord through song. I knew as a child in elementary school, singing with the children’s choir during church services. In 7th grade, I sang my first church solo. I can clearly remember standing … [Read more...]

You and I are in a battle and the stakes are high. A parent of a child with a special need faces overwhelming demands each day. There are therapy needs, educational needs, social needs… and these are just the needs of our child! We must also take care of our own adult needs including maintaining our home, our marriage, and our health... and more. We also have an enemy who would like nothing … [Read more...]

Who Do You Say You Are?

October 28, 2014 by Kelly Langston

Who do you say you are?

Each day, we have choices to make. One choice—one that you make each day—can drastically affect your life in astounding ways. Choose one option and you will live an abundant life unshaken by the circumstances around you. Choose the other option and you will live a reactive life, unstable and swayed by the opinions of others. The question we face each day is this: Who do you say you are? Are … [Read more...]

Where to Find God When God is Silent

September 23, 2014 by Kelly Langston

In our family's journey with autism, there have been times when God has shown up in a big way: A miraculous provision.  A tender word from a stranger that so perfectly comforted a stressful day.  A breakthrough for Alec that we did not expect. These are the "walking on the water" days, when God's presence is so palpable  that I am humbled to silence. On days like that, I know beyond a shadow of … [Read more...]
