Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Life doesn’t come with a map. It twists and turns, throws detours at us, and sometimes drops us in places we never expected. This reality hits even harder when you’re raising kids—because now you’re not just navigating your own path; you’re guiding little explorers through their own confusing journeys. Overwhelm can take over, leaving you with questions: “Am I doing this right? Are we lost?” But the thing is that you’re not lost; you’re just sightseeing. When you’re sightseeing, you don’t panic because you’re off-course. You pause. You take in the landscape. You explore...

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Looking back at your past is natural. It’s part of being human. We reflect on where we came from, what we’ve endured, and how we’ve grown. But there’s a line between glancing at your history and living inside it. Be careful how long you hang out with your past. Like Doris Roberts said, “It’s okay to look back, just don’t stare.” Some people get stuck in their past like it’s a favorite hangout spot—even a safe one. They replay old mistakes, clutch grudges, or drown in regrets. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . This isn’t...

4124 Put the Phone Down show art 4124 Put the Phone Down

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

We live in a world wired for distraction. Endless notifications, the addictive drag of social media feeds, and the constant buzz of other people’s highlight reels can pull us from what truly matters. We wonder why we feel stuck—trapped in what has happened, fixated on what didn’t work, and overwhelmed by the noise of life. But here’s the brutal truth: if the past leads your present, you’re not moving forward—you’re treading water. Put the phone down. Stop scrolling through other people’s curated moments, the endless barrage of “perfect” lives. Desire to be supported and...

4123 Get Through Today show art 4123 Get Through Today

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

In a world buzzing with endless tasks, deadlines, and distractions, it’s easy to get caught up in the chaos of what’s next. We pile on to-do lists, strategize for tomorrow’s meetings, plan meals, manage errands, and somehow forget the most important moment—the present. The secret isn’t to conquer every challenge at once, but to zero in on what calls for your attention right now. The goal is simple: get through today. Matthew 6:34 says— “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” Desire to be supported...

4122 What If You Lowered the Bar? show art 4122 What If You Lowered the Bar?

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

How much of your time is wasted feeling overwhelmed while trying to do everything with excellence? Excellence is always great. But maybe good is enough. Expectations are hard to reach, especially when you set the bar high for absolutely everything. So what if you lowered the bar? Standards are a double-edged sword. They can work to your advantage. They push you to grow, to care about your output, to take pride in what you produce. But standards can also become a stumbling block — one that holds you hostage to procrastination and overwhelm. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other...

4121 Live Where God is Growing You show art 4121 Live Where God is Growing You

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

It’s tempting to live in a state of “almost”—almost ready, almost fulfilled, almost free. We tell ourselves that real life will start when circumstances change, when prayers get answers, when doors finally open. But in the process, we miss what God is actively doing right here, right now, in the soil beneath our feet. So much of your energy gets wasted longing for what should be that you fail to live where God is growing you. If you find yourself watching time slip away with hope pinned on some future moment, don’t wait to live. Live where God is growing you. Desire to be...

4120 Reveal My Own Heart show art 4120 Reveal My Own Heart

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Marriage is often painted as a dance of two individuals growing together. But too often, that dance becomes a blame game in which one partner points out what the other isn’t doing, expecting change to come from outside rather than from within. We demand more from our spouses—more attention, more effort, more affection—while neglecting the vital question: what am I bringing to this table? Reveal my own heart. Imagine if, instead of scrutinizing your spouse’s shortcomings, you first took a long, hard look at your own heart—the good, the bad, and the ugly. Desire to be supported and...

4119 The Gift of Home show art 4119 The Gift of Home

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Parents have so many responsibilities besides raising their children. And when everything gets a little out of hand, it's easy to feel overwhelmed as if you're the worst parent ever, barely keeping your head above water, wondering if you’re failing your children. But you are doing the best you can. What matters most isn’t perfection—it’s what you pour into your children every single day. That is the gift of home. Home is more than walls and furniture. It’s the sanctuary your children carry in their hearts, shaped by your presence, your love, and your teaching. Desire to be supported...

4118 Welcome the Unknown as a Doorway show art 4118 Welcome the Unknown as a Doorway

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Standing on the edge of something new can be terrifying. The unknown stretches before you like a vast, uncharted ocean, and self-doubt is the anchor that threatens to keep you stuck on familiar shores. But waiting for certainty is waiting to stay stuck. If you want a life that matters, you have to learn to welcome the unknown as a doorway, not a detour. History—and countless stories—show that greatness rarely arrives wrapped in comfort and clarity. Instead, it strides in wearing uncertainty like armor and possibility like a weapon. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded...

4117 Find Your Path show art 4117 Find Your Path

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

In a world dominated by social media feeds and constant connectivity, becoming the person you are meant to be feels almost impossible. Every scroll hooks you into the comparison trap—measuring your behind-the-scenes against someone else’s highlight reel. This endless competition to be what we’re not steals our attention and energy. Ask yourself honestly: Where are you right now? Are you living your life, or are you caught up in comparing yourself to others? Find your path! Living someone else’s life is confusing. It’s debilitating. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other...

Sometimes, in the shadows of doubt and darkness, we long for a moment of renewal and transformation that brightens every corner of our being. Embrace the total eclipse of the heart.

Yesterday, we witnessed the total solar eclipse, where the moon momentarily totally obscured the sun, casting a veil of darkness.

How much of our own lives are overshadowed by darkness, by self-doubt and negative thoughts that plague our minds?

"I'm not enough." 

"I'll never amount to anything."

"Why me?"

Do these phrases sound familiar? Do they hit too close to home, perhaps even bringing tears to your eyes? But amidst the darkness, we must remember – at the end of each eclipse, there is light.

What is your light in the darkness? Who is your beacon of hope when all seems lost? As we search for answers, we must remember that even in the darkest moments, there is a glimmer of light waiting to break through.

In the midst of cloudy skies and rain, I stood waiting for the solar eclipse to reveal itself. Despite the obstacles, when the time came, the clouds shifted, the wind intensified, and the rain fell harder. It was a reminder that even when we can't see the light, it is there, waiting to shine through.

Just as the total solar eclipse was a celestial event beyond our control, so too is the transformation of our hearts not solely our doing, but a divine work. We long for a different life, a new self, a soul on fire – and that journey begins with a total eclipse of the heart.

"Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me." (Psalm 51:10)

With faith and belief, we can invite God to provide that total eclipse of the heart, to shine His light into the darkest corners of our souls, reminding us that with Him, all things are possible. It's time to embrace the total eclipse of your heart and let the light in.

The K.I.S.S. ~ Embrace the total eclipse of the heart!

In the cosmic ballet of sun and moon,
A dance of shadows, a mystical tune.
The solar eclipse, a celestial show,
Revealing mysteries we may never know.

Just as the moon cloaks the sun’s bright light,
In life’s shadows, we find insight.
For in every person, a story unfolds,
A tapestry of wonders waiting to be told.

Like the eclipse unveils a hidden view,
In each soul, there's magic too.
A brilliance that shines, obscured at times,
But waiting to burst through life's confines.

Through the darkness, a glimmer shines,
A spark of hope in troubled times.
In every heart, a light does gleam,
A beacon of strength, a radiant beam.

So marvel at the eclipse, marvel at the sight,
But remember, within you burns a light.
A light that shines uniquely bright,
Illuminating your path through day and night.

As the universe aligns in perfect grace,
Know that within you, greatness takes place.
The solar eclipse a mirror to behold,
Reflecting the wonders within your soul.

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