4087 The Power of 'Might Be'
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Life has a sneaky way of throwing curveballs. Sometimes, it feels like our dreams and our lives are at odds, each stealing time and energy from the other. You wake up one day, tired and discouraged because what you aimed for yesterday didn’t come through today—or maybe not last week, last month, or even last year. But what if the power of 'might be' keeps you going even if it took 15 years to reach the pinnacle of what you’re made for? You’re not alone if that sounds daunting. Most people give up somewhere along the way when the “now” doesn’t match the “dream.” Desire to be...

4086 But God...
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Sometimes, the loudest battles we fight are the ones no one else can see—but God. These battles rage in the quiet corners of our hearts and minds, behind the smiles we wear and the strength we show. These are the struggles we try to control, the fears we wrestle with, the outcomes we demand. And in the chaos of it all, we miss the main thing—but God is already in control. Here’s the thing most of us don’t get—we spend all our energy chasing what we want to control Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the .

4085 Find Freedom in Your Confession
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Most people hear the word “confession” and instantly think of shame, guilt, or secrets left buried. And when it comes to marriage, it’s easy to assume confessions only mean admitting mistakes or airing dirty laundry. But what if confession wasn’t just about revealing the bad or the hidden? What if confession was the key to unlocking freedom, deeper connection, and true intimacy with your spouse? You can find freedom in your confession. Marriage is a daily exercise in being known and accepted. Two people bring their fears, hopes, and imperfections into a shared life. Desire to be...

4084 Stop Waiting for the Applause
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
As parents, there’s an unspoken pressure to be seen as the best—whether it’s the parent with the most achievements, the most thoughtful gestures, or the most engaged family life. But at what cost does this spotlight come? Stop waiting for the applause. The truth is this: your main responsibility as a parent isn’t to rack up compliments or win approval. It’s to raise your children in a way that suits their unique needs, not your image. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the .

4083 Declare Your Worth
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
You know what’s tougher than changing your circumstances? Changing your perspective. But sometimes, that’s exactly what you need. Because while you can’t always control what happens, you always control how you choose to see it; declare your worth. Think about the voice inside your head—the one that runs the nonstop commentary about you, your life, your struggles. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . That voice? It’s not just noise. It’s the foundation of your identity. Over time, the stories you repeat become who you believe you...

4082 Hope in the Ashes
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
When the struggles and troubles jump out on the page more than the small acts of kindness and compassion, your emotions can become entangled with what has happened, instead of what this makes possible. Life will not be easy, but you can find refreshment in the CRAP (challenges, rejections, adversities, and problems) of life; it's hope in the ashes. And not just foggy, warm, fuzzy feelings that you think all will be okay. But the real deal of hope that something better is around the corner.

4081 Aim Beyond the Easy Win
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
When the road ahead is rough, dotted with obstacles and unknown twists, rather than smooth paths lined with roses and rainbows, it can be tempting to settle for the easier option. But choosing what’s convenient today often just fast-tracks the stalling of the real progress you want tomorrow. Aim beyond the easy win. Life’s best achievements aren’t born from comfort zones. They come from pushing past what feels safe or simple—rejecting the magnetic pull of what’s familiar and within arm’s reach. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

4080 The Quiet Work that Creates Loud Success
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
It’s a story as old as ambition itself. Everyone wants to get ahead, accomplish big things, and build the life they crave. Yet, the truth is simple, profound, and often the most challenging: What makes the biggest difference is the quiet work that creates loud success. It's the progress that happens in the quiet spaces where no one else is looking. It’s the grind that goes unseen—the early mornings you’re not tweeting about, the late nights where the world is asleep, and you’re wide awake pushing past limits.

4079 Walk in the Overflow
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
In a world obsessed with control, hustle, and having all the answers, it’s easy to feel drained, inadequate, or endlessly chasing something just out of reach. Everywhere you turn, the message screams: “You must figure it out. You have to have a plan. You need to produce or you’ll be left behind.” But if you’re tired of spinning your wheels, worn out by pressure, and desperate for a life that isn’t fueled by stress and striving, there’s a deeper invitation waiting for you. It’s an invitation to walk in the overflow that only God can provide. John 15:5 (NIV): "I am the vine;...

4078 The Reality of Exhaustion in Marriage
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Marriage is no walk in the park or a gentle stroll. It can become a constant grind that can wear you down until you’re barely holding on. Maybe you've experienced moments when you look at your spouse and wonder: How do I keep showing up for them when I feel completely tapped out? When life’s demands have drained your energy and the reality of exhaustion in marriage has struck, how do you find that next gear to love better and support deeper? Between work pressures, household responsibilities, parenting, managing bills, and trying to maintain some semblance of personal sanity, marriage can...

Imagine your child living fully as the person God created them to be.
This vision doesn’t just happen. It requires your creativity, persistence, and the ability to adapt.
Parenting isn’t a rigid formula you apply once and forget. It demands distinctiveness—a tailored approach that fits your child’s unique temperament and evolving needs.
Life will always ebb and flow, and with every shift, new opportunities emerge. Your role is to stretch your child so they are ready for these moments, equipped and eager.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Stretch your child!
If you don't do it, who will? You have to be willing to see what's good for your child's sake, because they likely won't be mature enough to see it for themselves.
So, how do you stretch your child and prepare them to walk through these open doors? Here are three essential actions every parent can take:
-
Nurture Confidence Through Challenge
Confidence doesn’t come from comfort zones. It develops when your child faces obstacles—and learns to overcome them. Give them age-appropriate challenges that require effort, problem-solving, and persistence. When they stumble, help them see mistakes as stepping stones, not dead ends. The lesson: resilience is built by facing adversity head-on, not by avoiding it. -
Cultivate Core Values That Stick
In the shifting tides of culture and peer pressure, values are your child’s compass. Instill a clear sense of integrity, kindness, and responsibility early on. Model these daily. Teaching values isn’t about lecturing; it’s about living them and having honest conversations about why they matter. When challenges arise, those anchored by strong values can make decisions that keep their path open, rather than closed. -
Encourage Curiosity and Adaptability
The world your child will inherit is full of surprises. Encouraging curiosity helps them remain open to new ideas and experiences. Adaptability lets them pivot when circumstances change. Support their interests, even when they shift. Show that flexibility isn’t a weakness—it’s a strength. When your child learns to embrace change rather than fear it, no door will ever feel truly closed.
In the end, opening doors for what comes next isn’t about control—it’s about preparation. It’s about guiding your child with a steady hand, a brave heart, and eyes fixed on their potential.
Each act of love, discipline, and faith you pour in today builds the confidence, values, and curiosity that will keep doors wide open for their future.
You’re not just raising a child—you’re preparing a life ready to step boldly into all that lies ahead.
"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
