I know you're tired. I know that thing you've been carrying — that weight you keep picking up every single morning, even though nobody would blame you for setting it down — I know it's heavy. And I know you've told yourself more than once that you're not sure you have another round in you. But here's what I also know: you have one more in you! You're still here.

4152 The Woman in the Mirror
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
There's a moment — and if you're honest, you know exactly the one I'm talking about — where you catch your reflection and the first thing that crosses your mind isn't kind. It's not always about what you look like physically, although sometimes it is. More often, it's deeper than that. It's the look in your own eyes that says, I thought I'd be further along by now. It's the quiet measuring of the woman in the mirror that happens when you compare who you are today against who you imagined you'd be at this point. And just like that, the woman staring back at you becomes not enough....

4151 Design Your Day
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Why is it that we can pour ourselves into everyone else's schedule, everyone else's crisis, everyone else's to-do list, but when it comes to our own day, we just… wing it? We wake up, already behind before our feet hit the floor, and we spend the next twelve or sixteen hours reacting. Putting out fires. Managing the chaos. Surviving until we can collapse back into bed and do it all over again tomorrow. And somewhere in the middle of all that surviving, we forget the most important thing. Our own day. The one God gave us. The one we will never, ever get back. So design your day! Psalm...

4150 Stop Going Back
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Have you ever made a decision, felt good about it for a moment, and then spent the next three days replaying it in your mind like a movie you can't turn off? You made the call. You weighed your options. You moved. And then — almost out of nowhere — the doubt crept in. Did I really think that through? What if I'm wrong? Maybe I should have waited. Stop going back! When we make a decision and clarity stalls, something uncomfortable starts to bubble up. It's the fear of being stuck. Not stuck because the decision was wrong, but stuck because we won't let go of it long enough to see where...

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...

You're still listening to this. You're still showing up. You're still breathing and fighting and doing the next thing even when the next thing feels like climbing a mountain in shoes that don't fit. And that tells me something about who you are that maybe you've forgotten.
You are someone who does not quit.
Now before you push back on that — before you start listing all the things you've walked away from or the moments you felt like you failed — let me stop you right there. Because there is a Christ-sized difference between quitting and resting. There is a Christ-sized difference between walking away from something that was never yours to carry and giving up on the calling that God stitched into your bones before you ever took your first breath. You know the difference. Deep down, past the noise and the fear and the fatigue, you know.
And that's the thing you gotta know? That's the thing I want to talk about today.
One more.
Not ten more. Not a hundred more. Not "figure out the rest of your life by Friday." Just one more.
- One more step.
- One more conversation.
- One more prayer.
- One more try at the thing that makes your stomach flip because it matters that much to you.
Sometimes we get so caught up in the finish line that we forget the race is made up of single steps. We look at where we want to be, measure the distance, and collapse under the math of it all.
But what if you stopped measuring? What if, just for today, you gave yourself permission to only take one more step?
You know what Paul said to the church in Galatia — and honestly, I think he could've been sitting right here in this room saying it to you and me — "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." If we do not give up. Not if we sprint. Not if we perform. Not if we get it perfect. If we simply do not stop.
The K.I.S.S. ~ One more!
You are not behind. I don't care what the timeline in your head says. I don't care what her life looks like on the other side of your screen. I don't care that you thought you'd be further along by now.
God is not checking His watch. He's not tapping His foot. He is walking beside you and He is saying the same thing I'm saying — keep going. You've got one more in you.
And I know the voice in your head is loud right now. I know it's telling you that you're foolish for still trying. That the smart thing would be to play it safe. That everybody else figured it out faster and you must be missing something.
But can I tell you what I've learned about that voice? It only shows up when you're close. It only gets loud when you're about to walk into something that scares the enemy. Because if you weren't a threat, nobody would bother trying to shut you down.
So let it be loud. And then take one more step anyway.
Here's the thing about believing in yourself when you're running on fumes. It's not about feeling confident. It's not about waking up with fire in your veins and certainty in your chest. Some days belief looks like dragging yourself to the edge of the bed and whispering, "Okay, God. I don't see it. But You do. So I'm going to trust You with this one more." That's faith. That's the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen — and sometimes the thing not seen is your own strength. But He sees it. He put it there.
You were not built to sit on the sidelines of your own life. You were not designed to watch everybody else step into their calling while you talk yourself out of yours. You were made for this — this messy, beautiful, frustrating, holy process of becoming. And becoming doesn't happen in one giant leap. It happens in the one more.
One more conversation with your spouse where you choose honesty over walls.
One more morning where you open that journal and write what's really on your heart.
One more moment where you tell fear it doesn't get to drive today.
One more time you look in the mirror and say, "I believe in who God is making me."
That's where the breakthrough lives. Not in the dramatic movie moment. Not in the standing ovation. It lives in the quiet, ordinary, unsexy, everyday afternoon decision to try one more time. And then one more after that.
So wherever you are right now — whether you're listening to this with tears streaming down your face or nodding along with your coffee getting cold — I want you to know something. I believe in you. Not because I think you're perfect. Not because I think you won't stumble. But because I've watched what God does with people who refuse to stop walking. He meets them. Every single time. He meets them right there in the one more.
And if no one else has said it to you today, let me be the one.
You've got this. Not because you're strong enough on your own. But because the One who called you is faithful, and He finishes what He starts. Including you.
One more. You've got one more in you.
"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
