Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Life constantly pulls us in different directions, tempting us to believe that true significance lies in the extraordinary. Be who God created you to be and be faithful in the ordinary. You may long for drastic change, big accomplishments, and impactful moments. But remember, true greatness often resides in the seemingly ordinary. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co In the hustle and bustle of your daily routine, it's easy to overlook the power of your actions. You may question whether your efforts are making a difference, whether they are worthy of praise or recognition. But it's in these very moments, within the ordinary, that you have the opportunity to cultivate a life of purpose and leave your mark on the world. Scripture reminds us that even the smallest acts of kindness and faithfulness can create a ripple effect of transformation. As the apostle Paul wrote in Galatians 6:9, "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." Look at Mother Teresa, whose profound impact on the lives of the poor and marginalized in Calcutta continues to inspire generations. Her life was not about grandiose gestures or seeking fame. It was built upon the faithful commitment to love and serve others, moment by moment, day by day. Her presence led to her actions, which became her words. You, too, have the power to influence lives, whether through a genuine smile for a stranger, lending a helping hand to a friend in need, or simply being fully present with your loved ones. These seemingly insignificant acts become pieces of a greater tapestry, woven together to create a world filled with love, compassion, and joy. The K.I.S.S. ~ Be faithful in the ordinary! In the book of Matthew, Jesus reminds us, "You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven" (Matthew 5:14-16). This is a call for you to shine brightly, not just in the extraordinary moments of life, but also in the ordinary, mundane tasks that you often overlook. Whether it's the consistency of waking up early every morning to spend time in prayer and reflection, the dedication to do your work with excellence and integrity, or the willingness to show up and be present for those who need you most, your faithfulness matters. Remember, you are an essential piece in God's grand design. You may not see the whole picture now, but your everyday life is used for a greater purpose. Your faithfulness in the ordinary is an act of obedience, a testament to your love and commitment to God and others. So, embrace the beauty of the ordinary. Be present in the part that God has given you to touch. Relish in the small victories and find joy in the everyday blessings. Your faithful actions, even in the seemingly insignificant moments, are like pebbles thrown into a vast ocean, creating a ripple effect that touches countless lives. Be faithful in the ordinary. Let your light shine brightly wherever you go. Remember that your actions, no matter how small, have the power to shape a world in need of love and kindness. The ripple effect of your faithfulness will echo through eternity, leaving a legacy that far surpasses any extraordinary act. "Be present. Be incredible.

Conflicts can frequently unfold behind closed doors within the sacred confines of our homes, where love is meant to flourish. Even though you might be fighting the unseen battles, your marriage can thrive. These untamed conflicts can silently erode the foundation of a marriage. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co However, if both partners commit to leading with kindness and compassion, even in the fiercest storms, they can rise above the challenges and nurture a healthy and fulfilling relationship. The K.I.S.S. ~ Commit to action! 1. Practicing Empathy The first step towards fostering a kind and compassionate environment within your marriage is to practice empathy. Empathy allows us to see the world through our partner's eyes, to understand their perspective, and to validate their emotions without judgment. When disagreements arise, take a moment to pause and genuinely listen to your spouse before responding. Seek to understand their feelings and needs, and approach the conversation with sensitivity and respect. Recall Proverbs 18:13 which reminds us, "To answer before listening— that is folly and shame." 2. Choosing Words Wisely Words wield immense power in shaping our relationships, and the way we choose to express ourselves during heated moments can either heal or harm. When arguments arise, refrain from personal attacks or resorting to hurtful language. Instead, strive to communicate your thoughts and concerns in a calm and constructive manner. Using "I" statements, such as "I feel" or "I need," can foster a more open dialogue. Remember the wisdom from Ephesians 4:29, "Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear." 3. Practicing Forgiveness Forgiveness is a vital component of any lasting marriage. It allows us to let go of past hurts, heal wounds, and move forward together. Instead of holding grudges, practice forgiveness by striving to understand your partner's intentions and extending grace. Remember, we are all imperfect beings, and forgiveness allows us to cultivate deeper love and connection. Reflect on Colossians 3:13, "Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you." "Behind closed doors, the battles may rage, but the power of kindness and compassion can ignite a flame that conquers all storms and leads to marital bliss." Marriage is a lifelong commitment that requires unwavering dedication and effort. By leading with kindness and compassion, couples can fight against the unseen battles and build a foundation of love, trust, and understanding. Through empathy, mindful communication, and forgiveness, couples can transform their homes into sanctuaries of profound connection and intimacy. Together, let us embrace the beauty and power of a marriage fueled by kindness and compassion. "Be present. Be incredible.

Raising kids without needing control seems impossible. You can redirect them and teach them all the right things. But in parenting, control is merely an illusion. As parents, we tend to believe we control our children's lives and destinies. We meticulously plan, set boundaries, and try our best to enforce rules. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co However, if there's one thing that parenting teaches us, it's that control is merely an illusion. Kids have a mind of their own, with unique ideas, desires, and dreams. Embracing the notion that parenting is not about control can be liberating and pave the way for a stronger parent-child relationship based on trust, understanding, and genuine connection. When the feeling of being out of control begins to overwhelm you, here are three things you can do to navigate through those challenging moments: The K.I.S.S. ~ Embrace the unpredictable! 1. Embrace Flexibility: Rather than resisting the unpredictable nature of parenting, learn to embrace it. Remember that every child is different, and what works for one may not work for another. Embracing flexibility allows you to adapt to your child's changing needs and preferences. It means being open to unexpected outcomes and understanding that the journey of parenthood may not always go according to plan. By letting go of control and accepting the ebb and flow of parenting, you can experience a newfound sense of freedom. 2. Practice Active Listening: When you feel out of control, take a step back and actively listen to your child. Create a safe space for them to express their thoughts, emotions, and concerns without judgment. By genuinely listening to their perspectives, you gain valuable insights into their world, allowing you to understand their motivations and desires. This approach promotes open communication, strengthens your bond, and fosters a sense of mutual respect. Remember, genuine connection surpasses control. 3. Foster Independence and Decision-making Skills: Instead of focusing solely on controlling your child's actions, encourage their independence and decision-making abilities. Provide opportunities for them to make choices, express their preferences, and learn from their mistakes. This approach empowers them to become confident individuals capable of making sound decisions. By letting go of excessive control, you allow your child to grow, develop their own identity, and learn valuable life lessons along the way. "Parenting isn't about controlling every outcome, but about guiding with love and giving children the tools they need to navigate the world independently." Your role as a parent is to be a guiding force, providing wisdom, guidance, and support rather than striving for absolute control. By embracing this perspective, you can support your children's growth and development while forging a deep and meaningful bond that stands the test of time. Remember, parenting is a journey of discovery, growth, and acceptance. Letting go of control doesn't signify a lack of responsibility, but rather a willingness to embrace the beautiful chaos that comes with raising children. So, take a deep breath, trust in your instincts, and embark on this exciting adventure with an open heart and an open mind. "Be present. Be incredible.

The pressure to do it all, be it all, and achieve it all can cloud your better judgment. Don't get caught in saying Yes just because it's easier. Say NO to lighten the load. I'm sure you've felt the weight of the world on your shoulders. In our fast-paced, hyperconnected society, which is really more disconnected than connected, it's easy to fall into the trap of believing that doing more and doing it faster is the key to success. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co But what if I told you that sometimes, faster is not always better? "Sometimes, we carry the weight of the world, trying to prove that we can handle it all. But in reality, we hold ourselves hostage to what doesn't truly matter." ~ Kristianne Wargo It is important to take a step back, reassess your priorities, and learn to say no before you are quick to say yes. Because in your quest for productivity, you often lose sight of what truly matters. You spend your days chasing deadlines, attending endless meetings, and constantly juggling multiple responsibilities. You become consumed by the need to appease others, to meet their expectations, and to show the world that you can do it all. Might feel good for a few seconds; but in the process, you lose yourself. The K.I.S.S. ~ Lighten the load! The truth is, life is about so much more than simply getting ahead. It's about finding harmony, cherishing relationships, and nurturing your own well-being. It's about daring to say NO to things that don't align with your values and priorities, and YES to what truly makes your heart sing. So, my dear friend, today I encourage you to lighten the load. Take a moment to reflect on your to-do list and consider what truly matters. Embrace the power of saying NO to the things that drain your energy and rob you of joy. Prioritize self-care and create space for what truly brings you fulfillment. Remember, it's not about how much you can accomplish or how fast you can do it. It's about finding your own rhythms, embracing the journey, and savoring each moment along the way. Life is not a race, but a beautiful tapestry of experiences and connections, a marathon for decades. As you go about your day, be willing to say NO before you are quick to say YES. Lighten the load and watch as the weight on your shoulders starts to dissipate. You'll stand much taller physically and mentally, allowing you to create your now. "Be present. Be incredible.

Healthy living is a choice. When you look at your body, what do you see? Health or a bill? Depending on your reflection, are you willing to pay the price? No one is forced to eat, live, move, and sleep a certain way. Yet, there are guidelines that, for most of us, are ignored. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co In today's society, it is easy to lose track of what truly matters when it comes to our health. We are bombarded with messages from advertisements, influencers, and social media, all advocating for different lifestyles and quick fixes. It becomes challenging to decipher what is truly beneficial and what is merely a fad. If you find yourself questioning whether you are making good decisions or simply going with the flow, look so you can see. The K.I.S.S. ~ Look so you can see! 1. Reflect on Your Habits: Take a step back and honestly assess your daily habits. Are you making conscious choices, or are you simply following what everyone else is doing? Consider your eating habits, exercise routine, sleep schedule, and overall lifestyle. Do you prioritize your health, or are you neglecting it in favor of convenience? This reflection will provide clarity on whether you are actively making good decisions or merely going along with societal influences. 2. Educate Yourself: Knowledge is power when it comes to healthy living. Invest time in educating yourself about nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle choices. Stay updated on the latest research and studies, and seek advice from trusted sources. By arming yourself with knowledge, you can make informed decisions that align with your goals and values. 3. Prioritize Self-Care: Taking care of your health is not a luxury; it is a necessity. Make self-care a non-negotiable part of your routine. This includes setting aside time for regular exercise, ensuring an adequate and restful sleep, and nourishing your body with wholesome foods. When you prioritize self-care, you are not just paying the price for a healthier lifestyle, but you are also investing in a better quality of life. "Your health is your wealth, and it should never be compromised." Remember that making good decisions regarding your health is not about following trends or succumbing to societal pressures. It is about aligning your actions with your own well-being and happiness. So, are you willing to pay the price? Choose wisely. "Be present. Be incredible.

It's challenging to find the good when everything around you seems to be crumbling. However, if you want to enjoy your every day, forget quicker than you remember. Life can be tough, there's no denying that. It often feels like the weight of the world is on our shoulders, and it's easy to get caught up in the negativity surrounding us. But what if I told you there was a better way? A way to find joy and happiness in your everyday life, no matter what challenges come your way. It's simple, really - forget quicker than you remember. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co It's human nature to dwell on the bad and ugly things that happen to us. We replay conversations in our heads, clinging onto the hurtful words that were said. We relive our past failures, allowing them to define us. But what good does it do? It only robs us of the present moment, preventing us from fully experiencing all the beauty that surrounds us. Instead of dwelling on what went wrong, why not focus on what went right? Train your mind to let go of the negative thoughts and emotions that weigh you down. Have you ever noticed how quickly you forget the small inconveniences that happen throughout your day? That rude comment from a stranger or the traffic jam on your way to work - they have a way of fading into the background when something positive comes along. So why not apply this principle to the bigger, more significant challenges in your life? I believe that every setback is an opportunity for a comeback. It's a chance to learn valuable lessons, to become stronger, and to move forward. But in order to do that, you must learn to forget quicker than you remember. It's not about denying the pain or the hardships you've experienced, but rather shifting your focus to the possibilities that lie ahead. The K.I.S.S. ~ Forget quicker than you remember! "Forget the hurt, the pain, and the disappointments quicker than you remember them. This allows room for healing, growth, and the choice to live your every day with a smile. When you let go of the past, you give yourself permission to embrace the present and create your now." So, shift your mindset today. Instead of dwelling on what went wrong, ask yourself what you can learn from the situation. What new opportunities and possibilities await you? Be grateful for the lessons learned and the strength gained. Surround yourself with positive influences - friends, mentors, and uplifting media - that remind you of your true potential. Turn off the distractions that make you go back in the negative part of your day. Turn on music that makes your soul dance. Be present in the moment, savoring the simple joys that often go unnoticed. The laughter of a loved one, the warmth of the sun on your skin, the taste of your favorite meal - these are the moments that make life worth living. It's getting cooler outside, which means now you get to be a little more snuggly. When you fully immerse yourself in the moment, you'll find it easier to let go of the past and embrace the here and now. And as much as you are kind to a stranger, be kind to yourself today. You need an internal hug, too. We are all human, and we all make mistakes. So forgive yourself for the times you've stumbled, and celebrate your progress. Each new day is a fresh start with new mercies, a clean slate to create your now. My friend, I encourage you to forget quicker than you remember. Let go of the negativity and embrace the beauty that surrounds you. If you look for it, I promise you will find it. See your day through the eyes of a toddler. When you fall down, brush yourself off and smile. This is your day to shine bright. "Be present. Be incredible.

You know how it feels when your to-do list becomes a never-ending abyss, and you find yourself constantly playing catch-up? Stop working against yourself; time tells all. When life has you in sinking sand, it's like trying to swim against a strong current, constantly swept away by everyone else's priorities. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co It's all you can do is to keep your head above water. But here's the thing - your time is precious, and it's time to take control. If you are wanting to spend your time differently, you gotta reclaim your day. The K.I.S.S. ~ Reclaim your day! 1. Create an Evening Ritual: Before you tuck yourself into bed, grab a pen and paper and take a few moments to reflect on your day and plan for tomorrow. This simple act of making a to-do list can make all the difference. Write down six essential tasks you want to accomplish the next day. The key here is to be realistic and prioritize the tasks that align with your goals. "Success doesn't just happen. It is planned for. It is intentionally pursued." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. Narrow Down Your List: Instead of overwhelming yourself with multiple tasks, select one priority item that will move you closer to your long-term objectives. Consider what would bring the most value or satisfaction to your day. By focusing on a single task, you channel your energy and productivity into making real progress. Remember, "Focus is your superpower." ~ Kristianne Wargo 3. Picture Yourself at the Beginning of Your Day: You've woken up refreshed, armed with a clear intention for the day. Before diving headfirst into your priority task, allocate dedicated blocks of time for specific activities. This technique, known as time blocking, helps you structure your day and prevents distractions from derailing you. For example, you can allocate an hour for checking and responding to emails, followed by a focused two-hour block for working on your priority task. This disciplined approach ensures that you honor your commitment to yourself and your goals. By incorporating these three strategies into your daily routine, you'll find yourself taking charge of your time and accomplishing what truly matters. Remember, it's not about being busy; it's about being productive. As I like to say, "The power of managing your day is owning each hour with purpose." So, my friend, take a moment tonight to reflect, plan, and prioritize. Tomorrow, focus on that one important task and protect your time fiercely. Embrace time blocking and let your productivity soar. You have the power to shape your day and create your now - time is in your hands. "Be present. Be incredible.

As distractions are lurking around the corner, finding hope and inspiration can be challenging and overwhelming. But remember, "Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." Psalm 119:105 However, remember that God's Word isn't just a mere compilation of historical records or poetic verses. It's a way of life, a beacon guiding us through every season, offering hope and inspiration when you need it the most. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co The commands found in God's Word may sometimes feel like burdens, but they are truly blessings in disguise. They are designed to lead you to a life of joy, purpose, and alignment with God. Take a moment to reflect on how you're implementing these teachings into your daily life, and the benefit of how it can transform your perspective and bring you closer to God's intended path for you. Faith is not meant to be a solitary journey; it is communal, meant to be shared, discussed, and passed down from one generation to another. As Deuteronomy underscores, our homes should resonate with conversations about God's teachings. Our households should become places where faith is nurtured, love is evident, and the beauty of God's Word is brought to life. Consider the sacred task you have been entrusted with - shaping the next generation. It is not enough for them to be aware of God's commands; you must etch these commandments onto their hearts. Take a moment to reflect on how you are molding their spiritual journey. How can you make conversations about God's Word a more integral part of your household? The K.I.S.S. ~ A light unto my path! As you navigate through the ups and downs of life, remember the comforting words found in Psalm 119:105, "Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." Allow these words to resonate within you and guide you throughout your journey. Let them illuminate your steps, bringing clarity to your decisions and serving as a source of hope and inspiration. When you feel lost, disheartened, or uncertain about the path ahead, turn to God's Word. Let it be your compass, showing you the way and shedding light on even the darkest of moments. Embrace the truth that God's Word is not confined to the pages of a book; it is alive, breathing life into your soul and offering you the hope and inspiration you seek. So, my dear friend, take a moment to reflect. How can you shape your daily life to be a reflection of God's commandments? How can you make conversations about His Word a more integral part of your household? Embrace this opportunity to create your now; a home filled with love, faith, and the beauty of God's Word. Remember, when you align your life with His teachings, you will find yourself on a path paved with hope, inspiration, and unwavering faith. "Be present. Be incredible.

Marriage is a covenant of love between two souls on a journey filled with joy, laughter, and companionship. And even in struggles and troubles, there lies a hidden truth - hardships are blessings in disguise. When disagreements arise and fights ensue, it's easy to get caught up in the storm of emotions. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co But what if we shift our perspective? What if we view these moments as opportunities for growth and transformation? Rather than seeing them as obstacles, we can choose to see them as blessings that pave the way for a stronger, more resilient marriage. "When life throws challenges your way, it's not a sign of weakness. It's an invitation to work on your weaknesses together." Fighting and disagreements often reveal the vulnerabilities and weaknesses within a relationship. They expose the deep-seated fears, insecurities, and unmet needs that silently linger beneath the surface. By acknowledging and addressing these issues, couples can embark on a transformative journey toward healing and growth. The K.I.S.S. ~ Look for the blessings! Through the lens of faith, we can understand that God uses these hardships to refine us, to mold us into better versions of ourselves. Just as fire purifies gold, the difficulties we face in our marriage refine our character, deepen our empathy, and strengthen our love. In the midst of a fight, when emotions are running high, take a step back and reflect. Ask yourself, "What is this disagreement trying to teach us? How can we grow through this experience?" It is in these moments of introspection that we open the door to possibilities, to grace, and to a deeper understanding of our partner. Remember, hardships are not a reflection of weakness or failure. Rather, they are opportunities for growth, for connection, and for a deeper appreciation of the commitment we made to each other in front of God. Embrace the storms, for they unveil the hidden gems within your relationship. As Christian married couples, we are called to love unconditionally, to extend forgiveness and grace, and to seek God's guidance in every step of our journey. It is within the challenging moments that our faith is tested, and through perseverance, we emerge stronger and more steadfast in our love for one another. So, the next time a disagreement arises, view it as a stepping stone towards a deeper connection with your spouse, a chance to embrace vulnerability, and an opportunity to fortify the foundation of your marriage. Hardships may shake us, but they will also shape us into the couple God intended us to be. In every hardship lies a blessing, waiting to be discovered. May we have the courage to embrace the storms, knowing that through them, we will find the profound beauty and strength that comes from weathering the challenges together. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #RelationshipBuilders #CreateYourNow #LoveAndMarriage 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

Family is the blessed burden that God gives us to learn love. 'Easy' isn't the point. ~ Alveda King In a world that thrives on immediate gratification and speed, it's no wonder that family life can sometimes feel like an uphill battle. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co The unyielding demands of work, social commitments, and personal aspirations often overshadow the importance of nurturing our bonds with loved ones. Instead of seeking the path of least resistance, it is within the challenges of family life that we discover the true essence of love. So, how can we, as parents, navigate through the tough times and perceive our situations and families in a new light? The K.I.S.S. ~ Embrace disruptive thinking! If you are always looking at your situation from a sense of doom and gloom, that's gonna keep you in the dark. So you have to be the light. 1. Cultivate Patience and Empathy In the face of family difficulties, it is crucial to take a step back and view the situation from different perspectives. Look at all sides. Practice patience and empathy, recognizing that each family member has their own challenges and emotions. By cultivating understanding and compounding it with compassion, you can create an environment that fosters love and acceptance. 2. Prioritize Open and Active Communication Effective communication lies at the heart of family relationships. Encouraging open and honest conversations provides an avenue for understanding and growth. Make space for everyone to express their thoughts, feelings, and concerns, without fear of judgment or criticism. Remember that listening actively is just as important as expressing yourself. By actively engaging in meaningful dialogue, you build trust, improve understanding, and strengthen the bonds within your family. 3. Cherish Quality Time Together The hustle and bustle of modern life often leaves little room for quality family time. However, it is essential to intentionally prioritize moments that create lasting memories and nurture familial bonds. Plan regular activities that foster togetherness, such as sharing meals, engaging in recreational activities, going on outings, or even dedicating a specific time each day to spend with your loved ones. By making quality time a priority, you reinforce the foundation of love and unity within your family. Parenthood is not meant to be a smooth journey devoid of challenges. It is within these challenges that we have the opportunity to grow, both individually and as a family unit. Embrace the extraordinary gift of family, knowing that the true goal is love. By practicing patience, empathy, open communication, and prioritizing quality time, you lay the groundwork for a resilient and harmonious family dynamic that can overcome any obstacle. Family is indeed the blessed burden that shapes us and teaches us the essence of unconditional love. Embrace the challenges, for within them lie transformative opportunities that will strengthen the bond with your loved ones and create a lasting legacy of love and unity. Remember, family is not meant to be easy. And that's precisely why it's so worth it. "Be present. Be incredible.
