Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

What is it about the weekend looming? The week has worn you down just enough to feel heavy in your bones. The kind of tired that seeps past the surface, whispering, ā€œJust rest.

3899 Your Heart is the Anchor show art 3899 Your Heart is the Anchor

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

The holiday season is notorious for turning you into a checklist machine. You wake up with a mental rundown of what must be done: complete Cyber purchases, groceries, school events, meal prep, work deadlines, holiday gatherings, gift wrapping, and on and on. By the time Tuesday is here, that list is already gnawing at your energy and your spirit. You're already wiped out just thinking about the week ahead. Sound too familiar? Well, here's your escape: Your to-do list does not anchor your life—your heart is the anchor. Psalm 46:10 reminds us to ā€œBe still, and know that I am God.ā€...

December evenings can feel like a pressure cooker. You scroll through Instagram and see everyone’s lives perfectly arranged: big wins, festive decor, smiling faces. Meanwhile, you’re staring down unfinished projects, mounting fatigue, and that nagging voice telling you you’re behind, failing, or simply out of place. Why does it feel like everyone else is moving forward, while you’re stuck living life out of order? Here’s the hard truth: comparison is a silent peace thief.

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

When the future feels shaky and the world seems out of control, hope is often what’s missing. But here’s where you check your pulse: hope is not wishful thinking or vague optimism. Real hope is a confident expectation anchored in the faithfulness of God.

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Marriage is no fairy tale without effort. It demands work, dedication, and a clear purpose to turn the ordinary into an extraordinary journey. When that effort wanes, couples find themselves facing the big ā€˜D’—divorce. No one wants that outcome. Yet, many walk down the aisle with hope for forever, only to get distracted by the temptation of greener grass elsewhere. But the problem is that they're digging for gold in the wrong places. Picture this: It’s Black Friday, and everyone’s scouring the stores, hunting for the best deals, the quickest wins, the most immediate gratification....

Raising kids with kind hearts filled with gratitude feels like an uphill battle these days. It’s no secret that screens dominate their attention—heads buried in phones and tablets, tuning out the world around them. But it doesn't have to be this way. If we let kids do what they want with technology, many will struggle to grasp what it really means to be kind, respectful, and thankful.

Thanksgiving often nudges us to list the people we appreciate—the family, friends, mentors, colleagues. But this year, let’s flip the script. Before you reach out to thank another, consider turning your gratitude inward. What if today, the letter of thanksgiving you write is to yourself?

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!!!"
