3988 Refreshment for Your Soul
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Life drags us down. It spins us around, until the weight of it all crashes heavy on our shoulders. Deadlines stack higher than our energy. Responsibilities pile up faster than the hours in the day. In the middle of this chaos, Jesus gives refreshment for your soul. The invitation comes from Matthew 11:28-30 ~ “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." What does that “rest” really mean...

3987 Hear the Hurt Behind the Words
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Talking in marriage isn’t always easy. We come to the conversation eager to share what’s on our hearts—hoping to be understood and supported. But depending on your spouse’s communication style or mood, your words can land cold, or worse, cause unintended pain. Hear the hurt behind the words. Communication is the backbone of any marriage.

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. Wait though! You’re not trapped. Not by your past, your mistakes, or the weight of what isn’t working. You get to decide how you show up each day. 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. It’s not about pretending you’re perfect or faking a smile....

It’s almost springtime, and right now, the last thing on your mind might be Christmas.

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. 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.

info_outlineImagine if you spread the good news. How would that change your life? Because nowadays, it's easier to let the CRAP of life and the negative rise to the top. Make an impact today and lift your voice.
Today is Christmas Eve! Amidst the final touches and rushes of people grabbing last-minute dinner ingredients and gifts, let's take a moment to reflect on the power of your voice and the impact it can have on the world around you.

Where negativity often takes center stage, it's important to remember the profound effect that spreading goodwill can have on us and those around us.
In the midst of the chaos and challenges that life throws our way, it can be easy to get bogged down by the negativity that surrounds us. From news stories highlighting the worst of humanity to personal struggles that weigh heavily on our minds, it's all too common to feel overwhelmed by the CRAP (Challenges, Rejections, Adversities or Problems -OR- Conflicts, Rejections, Anxieties, or Pressures) of life.
However, what if you made a conscious effort to lift your voice and spread goodwill instead? What if you chose to focus on the good news, the stories of hope and kindness that often go unnoticed?
By intentionally choosing to amplify positivity and goodness, you not only transform your own outlook on life but also have the potential to inspire and uplift others in ways you may never realize.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Lift your voice!
The power of our voices is not to be underestimated. In the Bible, we are reminded of the importance of using our words for good.
Proverbs 18:21 states, "The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit." Our words have the ability to build others up or tear them down, to spread love or sow discord.
By choosing to speak words of encouragement, kindness, and faith, you have the opportunity to make a lasting impact on those around you.
As we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, the ultimate example of love and selflessness, let us be inspired to follow in His footsteps and share that love with others.
Just as His birth forever changed the world, imagine the difference you could make by choosing to change the world through your actions and words today.
So, as you gather with loved ones this Christmas Eve and prepare for the joy of Christmas Day, remember the incredible power you hold in your voice.
Lift it up with intention, spread positivity and hope, and watch as your words create ripples of change that reach far beyond what you could ever imagine. Let's make a difference, one word at a time.
"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
