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...

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...

3972 You Make My Heart So Happy! show art 3972 You Make My Heart So Happy!

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Valentine’s Day comes around each year like clockwork, bringing with it the usual swirl of red hearts, chocolates, and flowers. But for a mom, these symbols of love can sometimes feel surface-level, like they’re missing the real heartbeat beneath all the glitter and sugar. Because the truth is, the kind of love that fills a mother’s chest isn’t wrapped up neatly in a box or tied with a bow. It’s messy, wild, tender, and deeply personal. It’s found in late-night cuddles, scraped knees comforted, and whispered “I love you’s” that echo long after bedtime—you make my heart so...

3971 You Can’t Have Everything—And That’s Okay! show art 3971 You Can’t Have Everything—And That’s Okay!

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

It’s all too easy to feel crushed when things don't appear to be going our way. We want immediate results with little to no effort. But the reality is, you can’t have everything—and that’s okay! Because if you did have everything, you’d be perfect. And that would change everything, not just for you but for the world. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . Let's take a bite out of the for a hot minute. Perfection would freeze you in place, robbing you of growth, struggle, and the raw humanity that shapes your unique story. Now you might...

3970 How You Create Your Now Shapes Every Tomorrow show art 3970 How You Create Your Now Shapes Every Tomorrow

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Nobody’s perfect. You won’t nail everything every single day, and you sure won’t do it perfectly every hour. But perfection isn’t the point. Intentionality is. How you create your now shapes every tomorrow. Your “now,” the way you choose to spend your minutes and moments, is the wellspring of your entire life. You build your everyday out of small, consistent decisions. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . Some move you closer to where you want to be. Others hold you back, even if you don’t realize it. Good habits don’t appear...

3969 Reframe the Frame show art 3969 Reframe the Frame

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Life is a relentless challenge. Sometimes it feels like waves crashing one after another—without a pause. If you pile on extra weight from how you see those waves crashing, you don’t just face the storm; you drown in it before your day even begins. Look at your life differently; reframe the frame. Your mind doesn’t just observe your reality, it creates it. The frame you choose to see your life through either traps you in frustration or frees you to act with clarity. When everything feels impossible, the difference between sinking and swimming is rewriting that frame. Desire to be...

3968 When Life Doesn't Go As Planned show art 3968 When Life Doesn't Go As Planned

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Have you ever paused to ask yourself why the goals you once set remain out of reach? Why the plans you carefully crafted seem to unravel, leaving you stuck somewhere between disappointment and confusion? When life doesn’t go as planned, the fallout can feel like a long, harsh fall—so disorienting that figuring out the next step seems impossible. And yet, we cling to that single burning desire: to push through and reclaim the path we envisioned. Life rarely bends to our will. Our decisions set a chain of actions in motion, but outcomes depend on factors both within and beyond our control....

3967 The Game Isn't Over Yet show art 3967 The Game Isn't Over Yet

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

The final quarter of any game is the ultimate test—the moment when hope and pressure collide. The scoreboard might look grim, and it’s tempting to feel worn down or defeated. But true faith pushes past what our eyes see and clings to what God’s Word promises. Faith is that quiet, persistent voice inside that says, “The game isn’t over yet.” When life overwhelms or uncertainty creeps in, anchoring yourself in belief brings endurance and courage. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . Romans 12:12 says, “Be joyful in hope, patient in...

3966 Build an Unbeatable Marriage show art 3966 Build an Unbeatable Marriage

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Marriage isn’t a solo journey—it’s a coordinated team effort that wins or loses together. Like a quarterback reading his receiver’s movements or a pair of dancers moving in perfect harmony, successful marriages require sharp communication, unwavering trust, and an instinctive understanding of each other’s needs. When both partners learn to anticipate, adapt, and align their moves toward shared goals, they build an unbeatable marriage—on and off the field. This kind of partnership doesn’t happen by accident. It takes practice, commitment, and a game plan that both partners buy...

3965 Red Zone Parenting show art 3965 Red Zone Parenting

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Parenting is like running a red zone play in football — the stakes are sky-high, the pressure’s crushing, and every move matters more than usual. You’re tired, stretched thin, and the margin for error feels paper-thin. It’s that relentless zone where kids need you most, but sometimes in red zone parenting, you just want to drop the playbook and cry. No one often says: being a great parent doesn’t mean you have to be perfect. The real power comes from showing up as you are—flawed, vulnerable, exhausted—and still choosing love and presence.  Desire to be supported...

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 should be, often measuring love by performance or appearance. But God doesn’t work that way. 

For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart” (1 Samuel 16:7).

God loves us fully—quirks, warts, mistakes, and all—and asks us to do the same for others. 

“Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you” (Ephesians 4:32).

When we love on purpose, we love past the surface and beyond judgment.

Take Off the Mask

What if, this Valentine’s weekend, we stopped putting conditions on who deserves our love? What if we stopped expecting others to look or act a certain way before we show them kindness? 

“Judge not, that you be not judged” (Matthew 7:1) challenges us to remove those filters and biases.

So, take off the mask and see people as God sees them: beloved, valuable, broken, and in need of grace.

“Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins” (1 Peter 4:8).

This isn’t cheap love; it’s a deliberate choice to meet others where they are, not where we think they should be.

How Would Loving Like God Change Us?

When we love unconditionally, our hearts shift. We become more patient, more compassionate, and less reactive. We stop guarding against disappointment and start embracing acceptance. 

“Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another” (Ephesians 4:31-32).

The K.I.S.S. ~ Love on purpose!

This kind of love transforms your daily interactions. Instead of reacting from a place of frustration or fear, you get to respond with generosity and hope—because God’s love has already covered you, and me.

Love Elevated: Beyond a Holiday

With it being Valentine’s Day weekend, we often focus on romantic love, but God’s love reaches far wider and deeper. It invites us to love on purpose—not only those closest to us but also the overlooked, the difficult, and the imperfect.

“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another” (John 13:34).

Loving like God is the highest calling and the truest gift we can give.

Your Next Move

Challenge yourself to love without the conditions you normally set. See beyond the mask. Show up for people not because they meet your standards, but because God’s love compels you.

When you love on purpose, you don’t just mirror God’s heart—you bring His kingdom here on earth, in the way you live and love every single day.

"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
