3986 Where Do I Run First?
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
When life gets messy — and let’s be honest, it always does — both parents and kids face the terrifying question: “Where do I run first?” It’s not just about geography; it’s about the who and what that can catch us when we’re falling apart under overwhelm and struggle. If parents don’t provide a safe fallback, kids often sprint toward friends, teachers, coaches, or romantic interests — places that might get them, or might just judge and reject them. This question strips parenting to its core responsibility: Are we raising kids who know our love...

3985 Wear Your Smile
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Life isn’t a constant stream of roses and rainbows. More often, it’s weeds choking the garden and storms darkening the sky. But from those weeds and storms come blooms and skies painted with the kind of beauty you cannot fake or force. It's no wonder it's hard to wear your smile. Maybe you're struggling to smile today? I get it. Sometimes smiling feels like a mask, like pretending everything’s okay when inside you’re falling apart. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the .

3984 Set the Tempo of Your Life
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
You don’t have to like where you are. Maybe your life feels stuck in a loop you didn’t sign up for. Maybe your step feels heavy or your spirit’s been whispering for a shift you haven’t dared to make.

You get to set the tempo of your life—from what you hold onto to what you courageously let go. This is the wellspring of real well-being: the space inside where choice lives.

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. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . We can peer at what everyone else is doing and forget what we alone bring to the table.

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.

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...

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!!!"
