3887 Action Detangles Chaos show art 3887 Action Detangles Chaos

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Chaos feels like a storm that drowns out everything else — your dreams, your confidence, your clarity. When life tosses curveballs, it’s easy to fixate on what you can’t do, what slipped through your fingers, or what’s falling apart. But what you can’t do doesn’t define you. Holding on to those failures or limitations only keeps you stuck in the mud, blinding you to where your power really lies. Action detangles chaos. So stop. Drop the weight of what’s beyond your control. That’s not where your focus belongs. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?...

Healthy living during the holidays can feel impossible. But you can still tip the scales. Not just for a quick win, but to build a lifestyle that carries you through the seasons.

3885 Simplicity Is Enough show art 3885 Simplicity Is Enough

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

We live in a culture that glorifies complexity and chaos—complicated schedules, endless goals, nonstop hustle. Yet, most of that noise isn’t helping you. You’re beating yourself up for what you don’t have, tangled in past disappointments, and paralyzed by fear that’s mostly imagined. None of that moves the needle. What if, for just one moment, you accepted that simplicity is enough? Imagine stripping away the must-dos, the overwhelm, the fears, and the doubts. Too often, though, we create monsters in our heads, just like we did when we were little and the monsters were under the bed....

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Too much to do and holidays too close, how do you keep up with all of it the most? Every day can get you down when you keep going around. You claim you're busy, but you're just dizzy. Nothing will change until—you stop running to stand still. Why do we keep trying to convince ourselves that we can do everything? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . The myth of doing it all drains energy, steals joy, and steals our clarity. It’s called busy for a reason—but busy isn’t always progress. Sometimes it’s just noise.

3883 For When I Am Weak show art 3883 For When I Am Weak

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Your struggle isn't a solo mission. In fact, rest is on the other side of surrender. The apostle Paul writes of this truth in 2 Corinthians 12:9-10: "But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong." Think about it—how quick are we to shout from the rooftops all the things...

3882 Stepping Toward Each Other When It Hurts Most show art 3882 Stepping Toward Each Other When It Hurts Most

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Conflict in marriage isn’t just about the argument itself. It’s about the distance it creates—the silence, the hurt, the confusion about where “we” stand. Coming back together after conflict isn’t automatic. It requires intentional, courageous steps that go beyond "Let's just forget it" or “Sorry.” It's all about stepping toward each other when it hurts most. Every marriage faces its share of conflict and miscommunication. It’s not a sign that something is broken beyond repair—it's simply human nature.

3881 Parents—Stir The Fire! show art 3881 Parents—Stir The Fire!

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Parenting demands a strong backbone. When the storms of family life rage hardest—temper tantrums, teenage rebellion, mounting stress—it’s tempting to shut down or retreat into silence, hoping the problem will just pass. But here’s the hard truth: the parents’ job is not to run from the heat. It’s to stir the fire just enough so real growth can happen. Why? Because your child’s greatest lessons don’t come from perfect moments or rehearsed speeches. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . They come from raw, real-life...

3880 Find Joy When Life Feels Like A Struggle show art 3880 Find Joy When Life Feels Like A Struggle

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Life doesn’t owe you an easy ride—and let’s be honest, it never will. The truth is this: tough weeks are part of the deal. You don’t get a pass because you’re tired, or because you’re giving everything you’ve got. But while life is relentless, your attitude doesn’t have to be. Find joy when life feels like a struggle. Waiting for “perfect” to show up before you allow yourself to smile? That’s a losing game. If you put happiness on hold until everything is exactly how you want it, it will never come.

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Living healthy isn’t just about what you eat or how often you move. It’s about staying sharp, focused, and fully engaged with your life and your body. But let’s be real — when your brain feels like it’s juggling 27 open tabs, and none of them are making sense, healthy living feels impossible. Tasks pile up. You start a project and end up lost in a scroll hole. It’s not a matter of laziness or a lack of willpower. Your brain is tapped out. So at some point, you've got to get your head in the game! Because if you don't, you'll be overloaded. Desire to be supported and encouraged by...

3878 Remove the Filter show art 3878 Remove the Filter

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Every day, we wear invisible masks—filters shaped by the expectations of others, the pressure to fit in, and the urge to appear flawless. We scroll through highlight reels of perfect lives on social media and wonder why our own feels so ordinary in comparison. So remove the filter. Because if you’re living for anyone else’s approval, you’re not living for yourself. And that leaves you with a life that feels filtered, diluted, and far from authentic.

Consider 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

Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. ~ James 1:4

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!!!"
