4132 Been There, Dump That
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
You know the phrase, "Been there, done that." It's the verbal shrug we give when something no longer impresses us, no longer scares us, or no longer has anything left to teach us. To put a twist on the phrase to serve you better, why not enhance it: been there, dump that. Because here's something we never sit around and talk about when it comes to growth — it's not just about picking things up. Those new habits, new skills, new mindsets. Growth is just as much about what you're willing to put down. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . The...

4131 Fear Isn't Who You Are
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Fear rarely shows up looking like fear. It shows up looking like "that's just who I am." It shows up as "I've always been this way." It shows up in the sentence that starts with "I'm not the kind of person who..." — and ends right before you find out you actually could have been. That's the sneaky part. Fear doesn't usually announce itself. It just quietly moves into the identity you've built for yourself, unpacks its bags, and starts paying rent. And over time, you stop noticing it's even there. You just think it's you. But fear isn't who you are. We all carry a version of ourselves...

4130 Find the Gift in the Grind
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Some days don't ask permission. They just show up — loud, full, and relentless. The alarm goes off before you're ready. The inbox is already three messages deep before your coffee's even brewed. Somewhere between the meeting that ran long and the errand you forgot, you look up and realize the whole day has passed you by, and you can barely remember a single moment of it. This is the trap of a busy life: we get so wrapped up in doing that we forget to notice we're living. And in that forgetting, we lose something precious — the ability to see the good that's been sitting right in front...

4129 Why Your Hustle Needs A Pause
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
How many times have you pushed through the day fueled by caffeine and sheer will, only to realize by evening your decisions are fuzzy, your energy is gone, and your brain feels like mush? Your decisions are only as good as the sleep you got the night before. Your actions are only as strong as the rest of your body took the day before. Your productivity hinges on how still and quiet your mind has been — not how fast it’s been spinning. It's no wonder why your hustle needs a pause. The culture today glorifies nonstop motion as the only path to success. But the consequence is a society on the...

4128 The Room is Never Empty
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
There's a version of faith that lives in a building. You walk in on Sunday, sing the songs, hear the message, maybe even feel something shift in your chest. Then you walk out, get in the car, and by Tuesday afternoon you're back to running your week on your own steam — making decisions, carrying stress, fighting battles — like you're the only one in the room. You know that gap between the sanctuary and the rest of your life is where a lot of us quietly live. Not because we stopped believing, but because we started treating God like a scheduled appointment instead of a constant presence....

4127 Are You Sleeping with a Stranger?
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
People change. That’s a truth we all accept, or at least give a nod to in passing, yet rarely sit with deeply. Time moves on, circumstances evolve, and the very essence of who we are shifts in subtle and profound ways. So why does it feel so strange with the person you share a bed with—are you sleeping with a stranger? When you lie down beside your spouse tonight, take a moment to ask yourself: Are you sleeping beside the person you once knew, or a stranger who lives in their skin?

4126 You're Not Lost, You're Just Sightseeing
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...

4125 It's Okay to Look Back
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
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
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...

In the midst of life's trials and tribulations, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and consumed by the challenging waters and fires that we face.

The weight of uncertainty, fear, and doubt can often cloud our vision and dampen our spirits. Yet, in the midst of it all, there is a powerful promise that brings light in the darkness.
In these words, we find solace and strength in knowing that we are not alone in our struggles.
God promises to walk beside us through deep waters that threaten to overwhelm us and raging fires that seek to consume us.
This promise reminds us that our faith is not in our own abilities to withstand the storms of life but in the steadfast presence of Christ, who has already overcome the world.
The K.I.S.S. ~ I will be with you!
In times of uncertainty and despair, it is natural to rely on our own strength and understanding, striving to navigate the turbulent waters on our own. However, true peace and hope are found in surrendering to the One who promises to never leave us nor forsake us.
"In the face of adversity, we must remember that our strength lies not in our own might but in the unfailing love and protection of our Lord and Savior." ~ Kristianne Wargo
Let us take heart in the assurance that no matter how fierce the waters may rage or how intense the fires may burn, we are secure in the promise of God's unwavering presence and protection.
May you find peace in knowing that He has already conquered every trial and tribulation that you may face, and through Him, you can emerge victoriously.
In the midst of life's storms, cling to the truth and anchor your hope in the One who walks with you through every trial and triumph, guiding you with His unconditional love and grace.
"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
