4065 Big Faith, Big Heart!
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Faith isn’t a fuzzy feeling or wishful thinking. Faith is a bold conviction rooted deep in what we hope for, anchored firmly in what we cannot yet see. But how can big faith, big heart exist without big hope? Without hope, faith crumbles into empty optimism at best or cynical skepticism at worst.

Trials, doubts, and the noise of this world often drown out the quiet voice of God’s promises. If you claim the Bible is the truth, then the real question is this: how...

4062 Impossible No More
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Rarely does life follow the script we write in our heads. Plans derail, obstacles pop up, and sometimes it feels like someone or something is playing a twisted joke just to test how much you can take. But here’s the thing: you’re letting the challenges tell a story that isn’t true. Impossible is just a word, not a fact. Impossible no more. Most days, things won’t go the way you planned—and that’s exactly where the opportunity lives. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the .

4061 Train Like You Mean It
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Take a deep breath. Inhale the new, exhale the old. Don’t let what you think you can’t do get in the way of what you can do to create your now. Train like you mean it. Most people quit before they even start. The voice in your head whispers limits, fears, and doubts. “You’re not strong enough. You don’t have enough time. You won’t see results.” That voice? It’s your biggest obstacle. Stop listening. Start doing. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the .

4060 A Little Bit of Love
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
We live in a world that often feels like it’s spinning too fast, demanding more than we can give, pulling our attention in every direction but inward. It’s easy to get stuck reacting to the noise around us, to the pressures and expectations flying at us like relentless waves. But what if the real anchor isn’t out there—it’s right here, inside you? What if the difference between feeling overwhelmed and feeling whole is simply giving yourself a little bit of love? This isn’t about knowing everything or having those perfect moments. It’s about the quiet practice of compassion toward...

4059 Ask the Hard Questions to Get the Honest Answers
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Life’s noise and distractions are relentless. When you pause, even for a moment, you might notice that your mind is cluttered, not with what truly matters, but with trivial nagging thoughts and surface-level worries. Those persistent little things hammering at your head and heart don’t deserve the space. What you really need is to dig deeper and ask the hard questions to get the honest answers. But most people don’t want to ask the hard questions because they secretly crave an easy escape. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . Think about...

4058 The Story of Your Family
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
When you reflect on your life, where does your family fit in the grand story? Is God at the center of your family's narrative by genuine choice, or is His presence more a matter of convenience? The story of your family is not a ledger of right or wrong actions, successes or mistakes. Instead, it’s about whose you are—rooted firmly in God's divine connection—and how that shapes the way you show up for each other and for the world around you.

4057 Real is Greater Than Perfect
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Marriage is often painted as the ultimate partnership — two people becoming one, sharing everything, and fully supporting each other. The truth is, too many spouses lose sight of themselves along the way. We start doing everything our partner wants: changing how we dress, altering how we act in public, shelving our own dreams for theirs, meeting their needs while our own are quietly ignored. Somewhere between “I do” and “we,” we forget that real > perfect. Dating was different. We were curious, eager to discover everything about our partner, putting our best foot...

4056 Ditch the Mom Guilt
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Mom guilt is a beast nobody warns you about until you’ve been swallowed whole by it. With Mother’s Day just ahead, it’s the perfect time to honor the tough, tireless job moms do raising the next generation. But let's be real and honest: more often than not, it stings more than we admit because the guilt feels like a weight on our hearts, drowning out the impact we want to have. Let it all go, and ditch the mom guilt. Because if you don't, mom guilt thrives when you take ownership of things that aren’t yours to carry.

info_outlineOftentimes, life is a highway; a vast road with countless exits, destinations, and detours. Each day, you choose your direction, determining who you meet, what you do, and where you end up. When you’re cruising down your chosen path, life’s open road feeling fuels your momentum. But what happens when you realize you’re driving on the wrong side of the road?
The highway you’re on isn’t aligning with the purpose you believe was laid out for you.

Many people have faced that exact crisis: recognizing that the route they’re traveling wasn’t their true calling. They expected a straightforward journey but encountered unexpected twists—job loss, broken relationships, health crises, or deep dissatisfaction. These moments test our resilience and demand course correction.
Take, for example, the story of J.K. Rowling, who faced poverty and rejection before finding her true path as the author of the Harry Potter series. She didn’t start her career intending to be a best-selling author, but after hitting the “wrong side” of the road in her life, she adjusted her route. Instead of giving up, she navigated toward a new path that brought fulfillment and success.
Research backs this up: a 2019 study published in the Journal of Vocational Behavior found that career setbacks often motivate people to discover more authentic and satisfying professional paths, leading to greater happiness and productivity.
Now, of course, this is not just about what you are doing in your career. You might say you don't have a career, you have a calling. However, look at it from the perspective of what God divinely designed for you.
You get to decide what you do every day and how you do it. Personal or professional, you get to choose.
So instead of being miserable and caught up in what everyone else is telling you to do, take a pit stop.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Take a pit stop!
What if you were to really think about what you are actively doing every day, what side of the road you're on, so to speak? What if you consider what's working and what's not? Maybe you need to watch the speed limit signs, too.
Just doing the same thing over and over again is not going to make things better. Yes, you know what to expect. But that does not mean you should keep doing it.
If there is a pothole in the middle of the road where you drive every day, do you think you should run over it just because it's there? NO! You can change lanes or swerve to avoid it.
This whole idea of living your life with a miserable badge of honor makes no sense. Now, that also doesn't give you free rein to be reckless. Connect your head and your heart and see what you can do to move from the wrong side of the road where God is leading.
So how do you move from the wrong side of life’s road onto the one that aligns with the life that God—or your deepest sense of calling—created for you? Here are three no-nonsense steps:
-
Stop and Reassess Your Direction
You can't fix your journey while barreling forward blindly. Pause, get honest about where you are versus where you want to be. Ask yourself: What am I doing that feels off? What’s the cost of staying on this route? Clarity comes from reflection, journaling, or talking with trusted mentors who won’t sugarcoat your situation. -
Redirect with Intentional Action
Once you see the wrong road, make deliberate moves to shift lanes. This could mean learning new skills, saying no to toxic relationships, or setting healthier boundaries. Don’t wait for perfect conditions—momentum builds the minute you take clear steps away from what does not serve you. -
Build a Support System and Keep Course-Correcting
Few people reach their intended highway solo. So surround yourself with people who encourage your growth and align with your vision. Remember, hitting roadblocks doesn’t mean failure; it signals the need for adjustment. Stay flexible, keep your bigger destination in mind, and course-correct as life unfolds.
In essence, life as a highway isn’t about avoiding every bump or wrong turn; it’s about steering yourself back, over and over, to the road that fits your true purpose. When you do, you stop drifting in frustration and start driving with confidence—knowing the road ahead was meant for you all along.
