4149 Overflow with Hope
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
When you feel like all you're doing is running away from or toward all the things, it's hard to find joy and peace in life. You can get down and out about your circumstances, and all hope feels lost. But as Paul says in Romans 15:13, "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Have you ever had one of those seasons where it feels like you're just running? Running toward the next thing on your list. Running away from the thing you don't want to face. Running in circles because you're not even sure...

4148 Look For Something To Work With
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
There's a moment in every marriage where you have to make a choice. You can stand there replaying every missed pass — every time your spouse came up short, every promise that got fumbled, every "we'll get to it" that never got to anything. Or you can do what the good ones do when the clock is running out. You can look for something to work with. Think about what you do now. Are you one who focuses on what doesn't work? Or are you willing to see what's possible? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . #RelationshipBuilders #CreateYourNow...

4147 Never Miss A Beat
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Parenting is a never-ending, rhythmic song that plays over and over again. Some of the melodies are soothing to the heart — a sleepy child curled into your shoulder, a shared laugh over something silly at the dinner table, a "thank you, Mom" that comes out of nowhere and undoes you a little. But many more of the notes disrupt the nervous system. The 2 a.m. cries. The slammed doors of the teenage years. The days when you've given everything and it still doesn't feel like enough. However you hear it, you can't run from the most important responsibility in your life. Never miss a beat. Parents,...

4146 The Circle Isn't Wasted
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
There is a particular kind of tired that comes from walking in circles. You look up and realize you have passed this same tree, this same doubt, this same conversation with yourself, more times than you can count. You are moving; your legs ache to prove it, but the scenery refuses to change. And somewhere in that repetition, you hope that the circle isn't wasted. Because the real question, the one that keeps you up at night, is "does any of this matter if I don't even know where I am?" Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

4145 Just Because Life Takes An Unexpected Turn
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Life doesn't always unfold the way we planned. One day the road looks clear, and the next, it curves somewhere we never saw coming. Unexpected turns can leave us feeling disappointed, confused, or uncertain about what is happening in our world and what God is doing in the middle of it. But here is what remains true even when everything else feels shaky: God is never surprised by the path ahead. Just because life takes an unexpected turn, God was not caught off guard, and He is not scrambling to figure out what to do next. "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord in...

4144 Keep Walking When the Miles Feel Long
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
There is a particular kind of tired that has nothing to do with sleep. It's the tired that comes from carrying a dream for longer than you expected to carry it, from praying the same prayer for the hundredth time, from showing up to the same unfinished work day after day and wondering if today is any different from yesterday. If you're in that kind of tired right now, know that you are not stalled. You are in the middle. And the middle is where most of life actually happens. So keep walking when the miles feel long. We tend to picture progress as a straight, visible line — one clear step...

4143 You Didn't Come This Far to Come This Far
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
A journey lasts a lifetime. It requires a chosen mindset, intentional thoughts, and actions that put an exclamation point to movement. Not a comma. Not a question mark. An exclamation point—a declaration that you meant to keep going. As you travel the various paths set before you, let this settle into your spirit: you didn't come this far to come this far. You kept what was valuable in front of you. You pivoted where necessary. You became consistent as time moved on, even when consistency cost you something.

4142 Satisfy Us in the Morning
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
There's a moment right before your feet hit the floor. The alarm has gone off, the day is waiting, and for just a second you get to choose what you reach for first. Most of us reach for the phone. We reach for the to-do list already running in our heads. We reach for yesterday's leftover worry and let it become this morning's starting point. But there's another way to open your eyes. Psalm 90:14 says, "Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days." Moses wrote those words — the same Moses who spent forty years watching a...

4141 Keep Your Clothes On
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Marriage was designed for intimacy. God built it that way on purpose — physical closeness is part of the gift. So why in the world would I tell you to keep your clothes on? Because there's a kind of intimacy that has to come first. And if you don't have it, the physical stuff becomes a bandage on a wound that keeps reopening. If you don't have the heart of your spouse, maybe you should keep your clothes on. Cordial Isn't the Same as Connected Think about how you actually interact with your spouse right now — not how you wish you did, not how you did on your wedding day. Right...

4140 The GIft that Keeps on Giving
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Parents have it rough sometimes. The struggle is real. We want to give our kids everything. The newest shoes. The latest gadget. The experience everyone else is posting about. We work extra shifts, stretch the budget, and say yes to one more thing—all because we want them to have what matters. But here's what we don't say out loud enough: the one thing only you can give them, you already have. It's you. Your presence. The gift that keeps on giving. A lot of times, we convince ourselves that if we just buy this or get that, our kids will know they're loved. And materially, maybe they'll have...
info_outlineLife has a way of dragging us into a relentless cycle—running full throttle while feeling like we’re drowning at the same time. Just when you think you’ve caught up, something else crashes in, pulling the rug from under your feet. No wonder the harder you try to get ahead, the more you feel like you’re slipping behind. That’s when you need to stop. Take a deep breath; be still in the noise.
That noise—it's everywhere. The shout that screams your name, breaking your concentration. The sounds of nails on a chalkboard that fray your nerves. The symptoms of stress, doubt, and distraction that pile up and pour gasoline on your internal fire. It all clamors for your attention, demanding responses you don’t have left in you.

But listen closely: Be still in the noise.
Stop shaking the chaos like a rattle, trying to wake something inside you. Stop expecting calm when what surrounds you is anything but. The truth is, if you’re making excuses, it's an unspoken permission slip to give up on that responsibility. You’re telling yourself that somehow you’re exempt from the promises you made—to yourself or to others.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Be still in the noise!
You’re called to something greater. Something that won’t let you off the hook. That higher place demands integrity—doing what you said you’d do, speaking your truth when it matters most, not covering it in half-truths or silence. Don’t lie when you need to speak honestly. Say it with love or hold it in with courage, but don’t bury it deep because hiding the truth only keeps you stuck. It’s a roadblock dressed as quiet.
Be still in the noise.
I don’t know exactly what storm you’re facing right now. But God does.
"Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Keep your mouth free of perversity; keep corrupt talk far from your lip. Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways. Do not turn to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil." ~ Proverbs 4:23-27
Be still in the noise.
Don’t let another day slip by trapped in Excuse Land—where inaction is dressed up as justification. The sun sets every single day, and when it goes down, so do chances to rise above.
In the midst of that screeching, that fire, that clatter—pause. Breathe. Stand still. The noise doesn’t get to set your pace. You do.
"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
