3982 The Walls of Comparison
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
We build walls around ourselves, thinking they’re shields—to keep others out, to guard our weaknesses and doubts. But what happens when walls don't protect you, the walls of comparison that keep you locked in? When a dream or goal demands stepping outside your comfort zone, you face more than fear or uncertainty. You face the trap of comparison.

Our gifts, talents, and unique value get left behind because we’re too...

3981 Seek the Lord
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Too much of our lives are spent running our own race—scaling mountains, crossing rugged terrains we've never faced before—chasing after answers and strength as if we must do it all alone. We push ourselves to find solutions, to prove our worth, to reach the other side on our own terms. But what if you were to seek the Lord? What if the breakthrough isn’t found in our striving or in the distant horizon? What if the source of hope and peace is much closer than we realize?

3979 How to Win Your Parenting Conversations
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Parenting isn’t about having the loudest voice in the room or the last word every time. It’s about precision, strategy, and understanding how every move impacts the next. You may be the expert, but be careful how you share the wisdom. Whether you want to admit it or not, you can learn how to win your parenting conversations better. In honor of the Olympics, I want you to think of your parenting conversations like the sport of Curling—where every stone you throw changes the "game," and success isn’t guaranteed just because you have the advantage.

3978 Gain a Heart of Wisdom
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
In the rush of modern life, it’s easy to lose sight of what truly matters. So much of our energy flows toward chasing someone else’s dream, trying to fit into others’ expectations, or simply surviving the relentless pace of day-to-day routines. Consider the timeless words from Psalm 90:12 ~ “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” What does it mean to number our days? It’s not some grim countdown or morbid fixation. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . It’s an invitation to live each day with...

3977 Plant Your Patience
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
In the relentless rush of daily life, it’s easy to feel like we’re sprinting on a treadmill set to max speed, chasing the next goal, the next move, the next achievement—only to end up overwhelmed, exhausted, and stuck in a loop of what we didn’t get done. That constant hurry doesn’t just steal time; it steals clarity, joy, and the chance to grow something meaningful. What if, instead of rushing, you plant your patience? What if you slowed down, dug deep, and gave yourself the permission to nurture progress with care—not speed? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other...

3976 Come Back to Center
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
There’s no shortage of promises out there, like tools, trends, gurus, and hacks, where each one claims they can flip your life upside down or side-step you straight to success. But just because something is out there flashing like a neon sign does not mean you should use it, follow it, or whatever with it. It's not necessarily meant for you. However, the real power lies in peeling back all that noise and coming back to what is true; come back to center. This isn’t about swallowing the half-truths that momentarily trick you into thinking you know what’s next or forcing yourself into a...

3975 The Power of Silence
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Our lives are flooded with noise—incessant messages screaming for attention, endless notifications begging for a glance, countless demands pulling us in every direction. It’s no wonder we feel confused and disoriented, overwhelmed by the mass of distractions that invade even a single hour. Take a moment and absorb the power of silence. Now it's hard to be still in silence. Think about how many alerts, emails, texts, and tasks are stacking up in that tiny slice of time? Usually, we bite off more than we can chew—and then get choked up by the pressure of what’s next. Desire to be...

3974 Love On Purpose
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Valentine’s weekend invites us to think about love—the kind that fills our hearts and shapes our relationships. But far too often, we get stuck in the world’s limited view of love: conditional, transactional, and filtered through our own failures and insecurities. God’s love, however, breaks every mold. His love is unconditional, relentless, and sees beyond our flaws. And then, He calls us to love others the same way. Love on purpose. Yet as we know, it’s easy to judge others based on our own shortcomings. We carry unhealed wounds, past hurts, and false beliefs about how people...

3973 The Sweetness that Melts the Heart
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
When you hear “sweetness” in love, your mind probably jumps straight to chocolates, flowers, and sparkly gifts. That’s the story commercials love to tell us—the more you spend, the brighter your love shines. But the sweetness that melts the heart isn’t wrapped in paper or tagged with a price. It’s something far rarer, deeper, and more powerful. The real sweetness comes from that raw, vulnerable place inside—the one that says, “I see you. I choose you. I cherish what’s only ours.” Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . It’s...
info_outlineConsider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. ~ James 1:2-3

This verse encourages believers to find joy in the midst of trials and challenges, recognizing that these difficulties can strengthen their faith and character, leading to maturity and wholeness. It emphasizes the importance of perseverance and trust in God's plan for their lives.
Life is a beautiful paradox, a delicate balance of sorrow and joy, challenges and victories. In the midst of adversity, there is hope; in times of sorrow, there is joy awaiting us. It's the ebb and flow of life that shapes us and teaches us to appreciate the blessings that come our way.
Amidst the chaos and uncertainties of this world, it's easy to fall into the trap of negative patterns and lose sight of the bigger picture. However, it's essential to remember that there is always a glimmer of light in the darkness, a reason to hope even in the face of despair.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Faith produces perseverance!
While suffering and disappointments may be inevitable, there is comfort in knowing that each day presents new opportunities and blessings.
"For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning." ~ Psalm 30:5
Tears and joy can coexist, painting a vivid tapestry of emotions that remind us of the complexity and beauty of life. Our faith and belief in a greater purpose allow us to find strength and consolation, knowing that we are cherished and loved unconditionally.
You are not alone in your journey. God is with you!
"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." ~ Romans 15:13
Today, find comfort in the assurance that you are not defined by your circumstances but by the unwavering love and grace given to you. Embrace the paradox of life with faith, knowing that you are deeply cherished and cared for by your heavenly Father.
God takes care of your heart; it's not your accomplishments that fill your heart.
Stay encouraged, for you are a beloved child of God, deserving of all the blessings and miracles that await you. Yes, there are going to be ups and downs, and all around, but embrace each moment with gratitude and faith, believing that you are guided and protected by a divine presence that surrounds you with love, God himself.
"For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison." ~ 2 Corinthians 4:17
May your day be filled with the peace and joy that comes from knowing that you are loved beyond measure.
"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
