3821 Everything Starts as a Seed
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Every journey, every success, and every change begins with a seed. Not just a physical seed planted in soil, but the unseen seeds you plant daily through your mindset, words, actions, and choices. You were created on purpose for a purpose, and living into that purpose is the real prize. What you build—your relationships, your business, your character—everything starts as a seed, and it requires intentionality for it to grow. The truth is simple: you will harvest what you sow. The seeds you plant today become the outcomes you face tomorrow. That’s why it’s critical to focus on planting...

3818 When Your Words Feel Small
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
As parents, it's hard to know if what we are saying is sticking. Sometimes, we talk in circles and nothing seems to change. Whatever you do, don't give up when your words feel small. You know what it's like to talk in circles, replay the same conversations, and wonder if any of it actually lands. Those moments when your words feel small—like they barely ripple the surface—can shake even the most confident parent. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

3817 One More Day
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Why is it that we rise to the complaints of yesterday only to find ourselves seeking what we want for tomorrow, yet we forget about today? There are new mercies every morning; don't take one more day for granted. Too often, we take this gift for granted, letting it slip through our fingers like water.

It’s easy to get stuck in the trap of frustration—wishing for different circumstances, a different outcome, or a different life.

3816 Just Commitment And The Right Moves
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Starting roughly in your 30s, your body starts losing muscle mass every year. This isn’t a cosmetic problem—it’s a quality of life issue. Less muscle means lower strength, reduced mobility, slower metabolism, and a higher risk of injury and chronic illness. Muscle isn’t optional; it’s essential if you want to keep living actively and fiercely. All it takes is just commitment and the right moves. So, how do you build muscle? And how do you do it right, especially if fat is more of your story right now? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at...

3815 Celebrate Today's Joys
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Too often, we let the shadow of what might happen tomorrow steal the sunshine of today. Fear of the unknown, worries about future setbacks, or anxieties over “what ifs” take up residence in our minds—and in doing so, they rob us of moments worth celebrating right now. So celebrate today's joys. Because life isn’t waiting, you don’t get a replay of today’s joy tomorrow. If you don’t celebrate the wins you have today, you’re losing ground.

3814 The Score Does Not Matter
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
In a world obsessed with metrics, likes, followers, promotions, or dollar signs, it’s easy to get trapped measuring your worth by numbers you don’t control.

3813 The Wait Is Over
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Walking in step with God isn’t just a stroll in the park—it’s a gritty, often grueling journey that challenges your patience more than the external chaos of the world. The hardest part isn’t what comes at us from outside, but wrestling with the timing of God’s plan. The truth is, God has already prepared a way before you. He has a place destined for you. But here’s the catch: So when He knows you are ready, the wait is over. We know the feeling all too well. A dream seeds itself deep inside, and you see the vision crystal clear—a powerful calling, a life meant for more. Yet, why...

3812 Remember What You Forgot

Wouldn’t it be something—waking up tomorrow and seeing your spouse with the same excitement and admiration you had when you were dating? That feeling you had when you first said “I do” wasn’t accidental. Something real, compelling, and valuable caught your attention—remember what you forgot. Let’s be honest: daily life grinds us down.

We have all experienced that feeling of living life on our own. So many things piling up around us that we feel like we are coming to a breaking point. However, I want to remind you that you are not alone.
He is there for you ALL the time. Now, you might say that you disagree because you don't have the answers you want. Yet, God is still there even when you don't get what you want.
Sounds all too familiar when raising kids, right? We tell them no they can't do something or have something, and they whine, walk away mad, wishing they had a different parent.
We can kind of be like that with God. But I want to encourage you today:
"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble." ~ Psalm 46:1
The K.I.S.S. ~ God is your refuge!
By now, you've probably heard about my diagnosis of double pneumonia after the first of the new year. It was not good, mainly because I had no energy. And for a woman who is always on the go, that was a kick in the pants. I get tired or exhausted because of what I do, but not because of an illness.
So unfair. Yet that was just the beginning.
In February, we had a cold spell that took our temperatures down to 10 degrees with a wind chill at times below zero. If you're in the south, that is not the temperature you want. Plus, stuff happens when it freezes.
Well, you know all about the forced renovations inside. But I get a call while at a conference that we are having troubles with the pool. Bubbles are happening outside. I am a day from arriving home, and all I can do is watch a video and see what's going on. I call my pool man, and he says, "You've got a leak!"
Can I just say I have PTSD from water?!?
We had the crew come out and emergently winterize our pool to protect any of the working lines. There was no guarantee what was wrong, but something was WRONG!!
After arriving home, we had to keep the ice from getting too thick to keep the water lines open and free from a freeze. That required us to stick the ice on the top of the pool and keep it more in chunks rather than an ice skating rink.
One day, I was working on the ice and the pool, and a struck the ice with a brief pause.... And then all of sudden I had an eighth of a milli-second to decide whether or not I was going with the fall, or would fight the fall in mid-air.
YES!!! I fell into the pool with ice about 2 inches thick.
God is our refuge!!
The short story is I'm alive to talk about it. The long story that early afternoon was I came close to not making it.
God is our refuge!!
In the moments of the water and ice hitting my body, and me being pulled under the ice was a little anerving. In a brief moment, I knew I had to get out of the pool or my son would walk down the stairs and find his mom floating dead in the pool.
All I could do was constantly tell myself to get above the water, keep your head above the water. As I climbed the iceburgs of Alaska in the backyard of my Tennessee swimming pool, I prayed to God to get me out. With fingernails clawing the slabs of ice, my heavy sweater wrapped around my face strangling my neck as it caught the edges of the ice. The fight was real, but God was by refuge.
Somehow, I was able to pull myself over two huge slabs of ice that were about as tall as me (5 feet). Finally, I got to the shallow sunning ledge and caught my breath. Making sure I wasn't dizzy and going to pass out, I continued the climb.
The climb of life is real, and so is God!!
"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble." ~ Psalm 46:1
"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
