Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

The holiday season — a time when most expect joy and togetherness — often arrives wrapped in stress, tension, and expectations that feel impossible to meet. It’s no surprise that fights flare more frequently during this time, as couples get caught in a tug-of-war between family demands, unmet hopes, and sheer exhaustion. The mountain looks too huge to climb. But it doesn’t have to break you or your marriage. Because whatever happens, choose us. What have your holidays looked like before? Are you someone who wants to control everything to minimize the possible chaos? Desire to be...

3888 Capture the Moment, Not Perfection show art 3888 Capture the Moment, Not Perfection

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

When life takes over, it has a way of swallowing your heart and demanding your head show up instead. We’re wired to want control—to have everything in order, to anticipate and prevent the unexpected. It feels safer that way. But as a parent, the more you chase perfection, the more you miss the raw, imperfect, priceless moments that really define your relationship with your child. Capture the moment, not perfection. Let’s be honest: no family runs on a flawless schedule. Kids don’t come with a manual or a “perfect moment” alert. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other...

3887 Action Detangles Chaos show art 3887 Action Detangles Chaos

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Chaos feels like a storm that drowns out everything else — your dreams, your confidence, your clarity. When life tosses curveballs, it’s easy to fixate on what you can’t do, what slipped through your fingers, or what’s falling apart. But what you can’t do doesn’t define you. Holding on to those failures or limitations only keeps you stuck in the mud, blinding you to where your power really lies. Action detangles chaos. So stop. Drop the weight of what’s beyond your control. That’s not where your focus belongs. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?...

The holidays hit your healthy living like a wrecking ball. Sweet desserts, salty snacks, savory feasts—your taste buds get a nonstop assault that leaves them confused and craving more. Add the shorter days and the time change, and suddenly the daily walk feels like climbing Everest after a long day packed with endless commitments. Healthy living during the holidays can feel impossible. But you can still tip the scales. Not just for a quick win, but to build a lifestyle that carries you through the seasons.

3885 Simplicity Is Enough show art 3885 Simplicity Is Enough

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

We live in a culture that glorifies complexity and chaos—complicated schedules, endless goals, nonstop hustle. Yet, most of that noise isn’t helping you. You’re beating yourself up for what you don’t have, tangled in past disappointments, and paralyzed by fear that’s mostly imagined. None of that moves the needle. What if, for just one moment, you accepted that simplicity is enough? Imagine stripping away the must-dos, the overwhelm, the fears, and the doubts. Too often, though, we create monsters in our heads, just like we did when we were little and the monsters were under the bed....

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Too much to do and holidays too close, how do you keep up with all of it the most? Every day can get you down when you keep going around. You claim you're busy, but you're just dizzy. Nothing will change until—you stop running to stand still. Why do we keep trying to convince ourselves that we can do everything? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . The myth of doing it all drains energy, steals joy, and steals our clarity. It’s called busy for a reason—but busy isn’t always progress. Sometimes it’s just noise.

3883 For When I Am Weak show art 3883 For When I Am Weak

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Your struggle isn't a solo mission. In fact, rest is on the other side of surrender. The apostle Paul writes of this truth in 2 Corinthians 12:9-10: "But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong." Think about it—how quick are we to shout from the rooftops all the things...

3882 Stepping Toward Each Other When It Hurts Most show art 3882 Stepping Toward Each Other When It Hurts Most

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Conflict in marriage isn’t just about the argument itself. It’s about the distance it creates—the silence, the hurt, the confusion about where “we” stand. Coming back together after conflict isn’t automatic. It requires intentional, courageous steps that go beyond "Let's just forget it" or “Sorry.” It's all about stepping toward each other when it hurts most. Every marriage faces its share of conflict and miscommunication. It’s not a sign that something is broken beyond repair—it's simply human nature.

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Parenting demands a strong backbone. When the storms of family life rage hardest—temper tantrums, teenage rebellion, mounting stress—it’s tempting to shut down or retreat into silence, hoping the problem will just pass. But here’s the hard truth: the parents’ job is not to run from the heat. It’s to stir the fire just enough so real growth can happen. Why? Because your child’s greatest lessons don’t come from perfect moments or rehearsed speeches. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . They come from raw, real-life...

3880 Find Joy When Life Feels Like A Struggle show art 3880 Find Joy When Life Feels Like A Struggle

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Life doesn’t owe you an easy ride—and let’s be honest, it never will. The truth is this: tough weeks are part of the deal. You don’t get a pass because you’re tired, or because you’re giving everything you’ve got. But while life is relentless, your attitude doesn’t have to be. Find joy when life feels like a struggle. Waiting for “perfect” to show up before you allow yourself to smile? That’s a losing game. If you put happiness on hold until everything is exactly how you want it, it will never come.

As Jesus Christ entered Jerusalem on that fateful day amidst cries of "Hosanna in the highest," He did so with a profound understanding of what lay ahead. Triumphs to tribulations; a blessing in disguise for you and me.

Despite the jubilant reception and praises of the crowd, Jesus knew that within the walls of the city, betrayal, suffering, and the ultimate sacrifice awaited Him.

While filled with adoration, these accolades could not shield Jesus from the imminent trial of his faith and the fulfillment of his ultimate purpose.

With unwavering resolve and unwavering faith, Jesus moved forward, embracing his destiny even as it led him to the city where he would be betrayed by one of his own. His entry into Jerusalem symbolized the paradox of triumph and tribulation, as the cries of "Hosanna" mingled with the shadows of the cross that awaited Him.

Do you ever feel like you have reached the pinnacle, only to find a deeper plunge into the unknown on the other side?

The K.I.S.S. ~ A blessing in disguise!

Life has a way of twisting and turning, from trials and tribulations to triumphs. And then, it repeats itself again.

However, the key I noticed was that Jesus had faith. He knew His purpose and was more than willing to follow through. Would you be willing to do the same?

Are you willing to do the same?

In the face of impending betrayal, Jesus' courage and conviction shone brightly, illuminating the path for all who would follow. His journey into Jerusalem serves as a poignant reminder that true strength lies not in avoiding adversity, but in facing it head-on with steadfast faith and unwavering purpose.

As we contemplate Jesus's entry into the city where betrayal awaited Him, let us be inspired by his example of enduring faith and sacrificial love. May we carry the spirit of "Hosanna in the highest" in our hearts, acknowledging that even in the darkest moments, the light of redemption and salvation shines brightest.

"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
