“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.” ~ Jeremiah 17:7-8 When life seems like it's unraveling, trusting God changes everything.

3742 When Love Makes You Feel Capable, Not Crazy
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Marriage is meant to be a sanctuary—a place where you feel seen, supported, and capable of facing anything life throws your way. But all too often, the daily grind, the chaos of schedules, and the relentless overwhelm shift your marriage from a source of strength to a pressure cooker of frustration. Instead of feeling like a teammate, you may start to feel misunderstood and undervalued. It doesn't have to be this way—when love makes you feel capable, not crazy. That's when the entire dynamic changes. You move from surviving the chaos to thriving together, building a solid foundation that...

3740 You are Worth the Fight!
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Do you want more or something different, but struggle to keep that fire flickering? Maybe it’s dim. Maybe it’s drowned out by doubt. But it’s there — that restless urge for something better, bigger, truer to who you really are. You are worth the fight! Here’s the raw truth — no one ever started a real change when everything was perfect. Life is messier than that. Focus feels impossible when the world is pulling you every which way.

3739 What Needs to be a BIG Deal?
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
When it comes to healthy living, it’s all too easy to get caught up in the endless list of “must-dos” and “should-haves.” Drink more water, eat kale, get 10,000 steps, meditate daily, sleep eight hours, cut out sugar, do strength training, track your macros, avoid screens before bed — the list feels relentless. And that’s exactly where many good intentions go to die: in the overwhelming noise of “all the things.” But what needs to be a BIG deal? Life isn’t about juggling everything perfectly all the time. It’s about identifying what truly needs to be a BIG...

Life will try hard to drag you into the daily swirl of other people’s agendas, distractions, and endless to-do lists that don’t even belong to you.

3736 Faith Over Fear
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
“The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?” — Psalm 118:6 (KJV) At first glance, this verse is bold, even audacious. It’s a statement packed with strength: when God is by your side, fear of what others think, say, or do loses its grip. Faith over fear. But what does that truly mean outside of Sunday sermons or quiet moments of prayer? What does living with “faith over fear” actually look like day-to-day?

"Finding balance as a family is like constructing a beautiful mosaic - each unique piece comes together to create a masterpiece of harmony." - Kristianne Wargo
What does your family look like today?
Are things calm, or is it more of a roller coaster of feelings with everyone walking on eggshells?
The K.I.S.S. ~ Check the chaos at the door!
Balancing competing demands and finding harmony as a family can be challenging, but here are some strategies to help:
1. Establish Priorities: Identify what matters most to your family and allocate time and attention accordingly. As author Stephen Covey once said, "The key is not to prioritize what's on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities."
2. Set Boundaries: Establish boundaries for work, school, and personal time to ensure each family member gets the attention they need.
3. Communicate Openly: Regular family meetings can help address concerns, share schedules, and ensure everyone's needs are considered. Family therapist Virginia Satir remarked, "We need 4 hugs a day for survival. We need 8 hugs a day for maintenance. We need 12 hugs a day for growth."
4. Quality Time: Make the most of your time together by engaging in meaningful activities and creating lasting memories. Dr. Seuss poignantly captured the essence of quality time with family, "Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory."
5. Self-Care: Encourage each family member to prioritize self-care activities that rejuvenate and re-energize them. You know how the flight attendant says, "Put on your oxygen mask first before assisting others." Taking care of yourself allows you to better care for your loved ones.
6. Delegate Responsibility: Distribute household chores and responsibilities among family members to lighten the load and promote teamwork.
7. Tech-Free Time: Designate periods without screens to focus on connecting and bonding as a family without distractions.
8. Flexibility: Be adaptable and willing to adjust schedules and plans as needed to accommodate unforeseen circumstances or individual needs. American film producer, screenwriter, and actor Michael Arndt noted, "Be so good they can't ignore you." Adaptability in the face of change helps to maintain equilibrium within the family.
9. Support System: Lean on extended family, friends, or support groups for assistance and guidance during busy or challenging times. Renowned educator and author Maria Montessori emphasized the importance of community support, "The greatest sign of success for a teacher... is to be able to say, 'The children are now working as if I did not exist.'"
10. Celebrate Achievements: Acknowledge and celebrate each other’s accomplishments, no matter how big or small, to foster a positive and supportive family dynamic.
In the intricate tapestry of family dynamics, each thread plays a crucial role in weaving together a harmonious and colorful life.
Remember, finding your calm center amidst the chaos is not about achieving perfection, it's not about things being all in there place and everyone happy. But more about embracing the journey and the growth that comes with it. When you are part of a family, you will be changed.
So check the chaos at the door and invite harmony to take its place in the heart of your family.
"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
