Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess His name. ~ Hebrews 13:15 (NIV) When was the last time you praised God's name? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Because I'm sure you've asked for more from Him than giving Him the praise He deserves. Today, I want to remind you of the power and importance of offering gratitude and adoration to our Heavenly Father. It's easy to get swallowed up by everything that's going on in the world, and you lose sight of who's in control. And In a world where you often seek to present your needs and requests before God, it is crucial that you also understand the significance of praising Him for who He is and what He has done. The K.I.S.S. ~ A Sacrifice of Praise! 1. Understanding the Nature of a Sacrifice: Our journey as Christians is centered around sacrifice. Jesus Christ Himself was the ultimate sacrifice for our sins, offering His life to bring salvation to the world. In light of His sacrificial love, we are called to mirror this sacrificial nature in our lives. What better way to do so than by offering a sacrifice of praise? 2. The Fruit of Our Lips: God has given us a beautiful gift — the gift of speech. Our words possess incredible power, capable of both building up and tearing down. By offering praise, we channel this immense power toward honoring our Heavenly Father. Let our lips be the vessel through which gratitude, worship, and adoration flow nonstop, bringing glory to His name. 3. Openly Profess His Name: We live in a world desperately seeking hope, searching for something to believe in. In such a time, we are called to boldly profess the name of Jesus Christ, the source of all hope, for the world to see. Our lives should reflect the glorious truth of the Gospel, drawing others closer to Him through our words and actions. 4. Continual Sacrifice: The verse emphasizes "continually" offering to God a sacrifice of praise. Let us not limit our praise to specific moments or occasions alone. Instead, may our lives be a constant symphony of praise and worship, marked by hearts that overflow with thanksgiving and devotion. In every season, through every trial, and in every blessing, let our praises rise to the heavens. As we reflect on Hebrews 13:15, let us respond to God's call, surrendering our hearts to Him and offering a sacrifice of praise in return for His abundant grace, love, and mercy. Let us rejoice, for our Savior lives! May the fruit of our lips openly profess His name, as we continue to offer our sacrifice of praise. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #SweetSpirit #CreateYourNow #SoulfulSunday 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

When two come together madly in love, it's hard to imagine that anger would show its face. How can anything come from such sweet kindness and enamored crushes between two in love? The meltdown is real. Marriage is a journey filled with love, growth, and shared experiences. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co But every marriage encounters storms—those fierce gusts of anger that shake the very core of your relationship. The sharp words spoken in the heat of the moment, the silent battles waged, and the emotional wreckage left behind can leave you as a couple feeling adrift and disheartened. But take heart, for this is a road well-traveled, a struggle shared by countless others. Now, that doesn't mean that it's an easy road to travel. It's just one that is traveled more often than not. In fact, you don't see this stuff written about in many marriage books. When you learn how to handle anger in a healthy and constructive manner, it creates a strong foundation for a fulfilling marriage to prosper. So how do you deal with the meltdown? Slow and steady wins the race. The K.I.S.S. ~ Slow and steady wins the race! 1. Recognize and Understand Anger: Anger is a natural human emotion and a reaction to perceived threats, disappointments, or frustrations. The first step in handling anger effectively is to recognize and acknowledge its presence. By understanding the triggers and identifying the underlying emotions that fuel anger, couples can gain insight into their own patterns of anger and begin to address them. Action Steps: - Self-reflection: Take time to reflect on personal triggers and patterns of anger. This self-awareness will enable you to communicate your feelings and needs more effectively. - Seek feedback: Engage in open and honest conversations with your spouse about how each of you experiences and expresses anger. This mutual understanding will foster empathy and build a foundation of trust. 2. Practice Healthy Communication: One of the most crucial aspects of managing anger in marriage is maintaining open and respectful communication. When anger flares, it is essential for both partners to express their emotions and concerns in a way that encourages understanding and resolution rather than escalating the conflict. Action Steps: - Choose the right time and place: Find a suitable moment to discuss sensitive topics. It is important to ensure both partners are in a calm state of mind and have sufficient time and privacy. - Use "I" statements: Express your feelings and needs using "I" statements rather than resorting to blame or criticism. This approach encourages understanding and allows your partner to respond with empathy. - Active listening: Practice active listening by fully engaging with your partner's perspective. Summarize their thoughts and feelings to demonstrate that you genuinely understand their point of view. 3. Find Healthy Outlets for Anger: While it is essential to express anger constructively, it is equally important to have healthy outlets for releasing negative emotions. Engaging in activities that promote understanding, stress relief, and emotional well-being can help dissipate anger and create a more positive atmosphere within the marriage. Action Steps: - Physical exercise: Engage in regular physical activity together or individually. Exercise releases endorphins and helps to reduce stress, allowing for better emotional regulation. - Engage in hobbies: Encourage each other to pursue individual hobbies or shared interests. These activities can serve as outlets for stress and provide a sense of fulfillment. - Seek professional help if needed: If anger is consistently causing significant distress or leading to harmful behaviors, seeking the guidance of a professional therapist or counselor can be beneficial. A trained professional can help facilitate healthy communication and provide tools to manage anger more effectively. The meltdowns are going to come. But you don't have to let it control you. Navigate the storms of emotions and feelings by staying grounded in strategies that help you calm the waters. "Be present. Be incredible.

With the new school year fast approaching, it's important for parents to not only help their children adapt to the changes academically, but also to support their emotional and social well-being. Nurture their individuality. What this really means is that you're helping them be who they are feeling. And being able to do it where they aren't wrecking their family, or even themselves. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co This takes a lot of patience for us parents. Because what we say can be taken the wrong way, and then we are dealing with some hurt feelings that we induced. Do we ever get a break? No! So we just keep moving forward. One significant aspect of a child's development is nurturing their individuality – allowing them to embrace and express their true selves. As seasons change, like going to a new school or changing grades, it really takes a toll on what the kiddos are feeling. So we gotta keep this all in mind as we transition from summer to the new school year. The K.I.S.S. ~ Nurture individuality! This comes with taking each child, not comparing, and focusing on what they are needing as who they are. 1. Encourage Self-Expression: One crucial factor in allowing children to be themselves is encouraging self-expression. Provide them with a safe and non-judgmental environment where they can freely express their thoughts, emotions, and ideas. Actively listen to their opinions and encourage open dialogue, as this will not only build their confidence, but also enable them to develop their own unique personality. Encourage creative activities such as drawing, writing, dance, theatre, or role-playing, which allow them to explore their imagination and interests. 2. Foster a Growth Mindset: Transitioning to a new school setting or grade can be intimidating and challenging for children. As parents, we can help our kids by fostering a growth mindset. Teach them that their abilities and skills can be developed through effort and dedication. Encourage them to see setbacks and failures not as roadblocks but as opportunities to learn and grow. By instilling this mindset, children will be more open-minded, resilient, and willing to embrace new experiences and challenges in the classroom and beyond. 3. Emphasize Authenticity and Embrace Differences: In a world that often promotes conformity, it is vital for parents to emphasize the importance of authenticity and embrace differences. Remind your child that being true to oneself is more important than fitting into societal expectations. Encourage them to embrace their unique qualities and talents, and teach them to respect and appreciate the differences in others as well. By nurturing their self-esteem and self-acceptance, you will help them build long-lasting confidence and resilience. As parents, one of the greatest gifts we can give to our children is the freedom to be themselves. By implementing these three strategies, parents can effectively support their child's individuality and help them navigate the transition into a new school year with confidence and authenticity. Encouraging self-expression, fostering a growth mindset, and celebrating differences will empower our children to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally, promoting their overall well-being and happiness.

Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Disappointment can often lead to a sense of self-doubt, causing us to question our abilities and worth. However, it is crucial to acknowledge that external circumstances do not define your value as an individual. You are deserving of love, respect, and success.

It's a continuous journey that can be influenced by positive practices such as proper rest, physical activity, nourishing your body with nutritious foods, and taking care of your spiritual and emotional well-being. Imagine building your mitochondrial health and, in return, witnessing a life of thriving. You can even think of mitophagy as a metaphor for change - intentionally breaking down and replacing bad habits with good ones to enhance our overall health. This is where thriving practices come into play. A lot of people think they have to do something grandiose in order to impact their health. But take the small things and do them consistently, building a thriving life. The K.I.S.S. ~ Build a thriving life in the smaller things! Ready to explore a few tactics that will help you consistently thrive in your life? 1. Take a full day to unplug: In this digital age, it's important to step away from constant distractions. Plan ahead and disconnect from phone calls, messages, and news for a day. Spend time in nature, go for a walk, or embark on a day-long hike. Embrace being fully unplugged and experience the psychological stress relief, reconnection with yourself, and appreciation of your surroundings. Feel refreshed and rejuvenated. 2. Sprinkle in small bursts of happy: Happiness is made up of small day-to-day moments. Invite more happiness into your life by incorporating small bursts of happy throughout your day. Send an email expressing gratitude, engage in a meaningful conversation with a friend, take a few seconds to help someone in need, or reflect on a past positive experience. These simple actions can contribute to a fulfilling and joyful life. 3. Seek out playful activities: Playfulness not only boosts happiness levels but is also crucial for brain health. Research has shown that engaging in playful activities activates specific areas of the brain and promotes neurodevelopment. So, make time for sports, games, or any other playful activities that make you dance. Remember, playfulness knows no boundaries. 4. Make self-care non-negotiable: Dedicate daily time to focus on activities that are solely for your own well-being. A quick midday walk will enhance your physical health and increase focus for the rest of the day. Regular meditation will cultivate patience in your interactions with loved ones. Carving out moments for projects or hobbies will bring balance, a sense of accomplishment, and happiness. Consider committing to an activity that requires regular practice or lessons, such as painting, woodworking, or rock climbing. The key is to prioritize self-care and schedule these activities into your life. Are you ready to embrace the practices that will lead you to thrive consistently and live your optimal healthy life? Start implementing these tactics and witness the incredible transformation it brings. Your journey towards vitality and well-being awaits. "Be present. Be incredible.

What is holding you back from where you want to go? Limitations are acceptable if they remain in their corner. But once they entrap your dreams, it's time to move on. Lead your day the impossible way. Do what you can do, and stop focusing on what you can't do. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co In life, we often find ourselves caught up in the limitations that surround us. We become consumed by what we cannot accomplish, by the roadblocks in our path, and by the challenges that seem insurmountable. But what if we were to shift our perspective? What if we were to lead our days in an extraordinary way? Imagine, for a moment, waking up each morning with a renewed sense of purpose, a spring in your step, and an unwavering determination to push the boundaries of what you thought was possible. Picture yourself embracing the mantra, "Lead your day the impossible way. Do what you can do, and stop focusing on what you can't do." When you focus solely on your limitations, you inadvertently limit yourself even further. You convince yourself that your dreams are unattainable and that you lack the resources or abilities to achieve greatness. However, it is in these moments of doubt that you must remember the power of your mindset, your heart, and the strength you possess deep within. Leading your day the impossible way means bolstering your belief in yourself. It means recognizing that while you may not have control over every situation, you have the power to decide how you respond to them. It is choosing to approach challenges as opportunities for growth and learning, rather than as roadblocks on your journey to greatness. The K.I.S.S. ~ Lead your day the impossible way! Consider the story of Amelia, a remarkable young woman who, despite facing physical limitations, decided to live her life relentlessly. Born with a congenital condition that restricted her range of motion, Amelia was bound to a wheelchair. However, she refused to be defined by her circumstances. Instead, she saw her limitations as a catalyst to ignite her inner strength. Amelia, with her unwavering determination, became an inspiration to those around her. She decided to pursue her passion for writing, penning articles that touched the hearts of millions. She empowered others to see beyond their limitations, embrace their unique abilities, and redefine what was possible. In leading our days the impossible way. Do what you can do, and stop focusing on what you can't. By leveraging your strengths and utilizing your resources wisely, you open yourself up to a world of opportunity. Discover hidden talents. Develop new skills. Realize that your limits were never as restrictive as you once believed. So embrace the challenge of leading your day the impossible way. Shatter the constraints that hold you back and embark on an adventurous journey. One that will be worth living every day. And remember, it is in your willingness to depart from the conventional, to step into the unknown, and to take risks that you truly begin to thrive. As you navigate the winding paths of life, you gotta remind yourself that every day holds the potential for greatness. Take that next step. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness. Kristianne Wargo" Shift your focus from the limitations that surround you and instead focus on the boundless possibilities that lie within. With every step forward, with every courageous decision, you inch closer to your dreams, proving that to be a living legacy, you gotta lead your day the impossible. "Be present. Be incredible.

Are you going after your dream only in a manner that serves you? God gives us wisdom, but it's up to us to accept it and move forward according to His truth. Why try and increase the speed limit? I mean, don't you get a speeding ticket when you're going to fast? Maybe God is trying to slow you down so you don't miss the BIG stuff that begins with the small stuff. Every moment of doubt or humble beginnings is an opportunity for God to unveil something extraordinary. His promise to transform the least into thousands and the smallest into a mighty nation exemplifies His remarkable power. The K.I.S.S. ~ His plans and timing are perfect! Moreover, it is a reminder that God's timing is always impeccable. His words, "In its time I will do this swiftly," offer reassurance that His actions are swift and purposeful. God's on point ALWAYS! You don't have to worry about what God will do. You have to focus on what God directs for you to do. You can't miss the mark, the door that opens or closes. You have to ready to take A.I.M. when God calls you to take the next step. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo While you may not always comprehend the bigger picture, you can take courage in knowing that in God's hands, even the smallest of you plays an integral role in a grand design. Trust in His timing, for He has promised to act, and when He does, it will be both swift and perfect. PRAY I am deeply grateful for Your faithful promises, which serve as a constant reminder that my worth and potential are not defined by the world's standards but by You. Grant me the strength to place my trust in Your impeccable timing, even in moments when I may feel small or unimportant. May I always remember that in Your divine plan, I possess great significance. As I embark upon this day, I humbly surrender myself to the roles You have specifically crafted for me, knowing that You are actively molding and utilizing me for Your glorious purposes. Please guide my steps and illuminate my path, for it is in Your transformative work that I find ultimate fulfillment and bring glory to Your name. "Be present. Be incredible.

Just like in nature, storms hit marriages unexpectedly, with gales of conflict, thunderous arguments, and torrential emotions. But fear not, for just as a lighthouse guides a ship through a violent storm, you can weather the storm in your marriage. Now there are different shapes and sizes of storms. You can have little squabbles that fade quickly, like a single gray cloud overhead. Or you can have torrential downpours that result in flash flooding everywhere. All of a sudden, you have rivers where there were once sidewalks. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Part of the struggle is recognizing if you're even in a storm, and should you be concerned about it. In the early days of marriage, a couple may face the storm of adjusting to the realities of living together. Differences in habits, communication styles, and expectations may create tensions and lead to conflicts. You know, things just don't jive together like they used to. Dating was much easier because you were still trying to win the prize. But then, you have the pressure of society's expectations, financial difficulties, and parenting challenges, which can further intensify any storm. So the first thing is: Are you in a storm that you should be concerned about? There is no right or wrong answer. But I would say this. If you keep whispering under your breath about something your spouse is doing that you don't like or whatever it is continues to bother you, there's a storm brewin'. If you find that you all have a shouting match over a particular subject every time it comes up for conversation, there's a storm brewin'. Half the battle is knowing that a fronts coming. When you look at the weather map, if you see that a major storm is approaching, you can prepare accordingly. But if you allow it to surprise you, for whatever reason, then you have to deal with the onset of panic and lack of preparedness. Think of a tornado. You have to be focused, diligent, and present to know what is happening in your marriage. But I want to say this too. Every storm eventually passes. However, if you're not in the right state of mind, it can take you under. So if you want to gain strength through adversity, you have to learn how to weather the storm. The K.I.S.S. ~ Weather the storm! And when you weather the storm, you aren't doing it from behind You want to get in ahead of the storm. 1. Embrace Effective Expression Just as calmness follows a storm, open and honest communication can dissipate the intensity of conflicts. Remember the wisdom of Proverbs 15:1, "A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger." It is crucial to listen attentively, empathize with one another's perspectives, and express thoughts and feelings in a respectful manner. Aim to address issues promptly, focusing on finding solutions rather than dwelling on the problem itself. AND...you have to know when to talk about it. What you are looking for is common ground to come together so you can work in a manner that supports each other. 2. Build a Foundation of Trust and Forgiveness Trust is the bedrock upon which all thriving marriages are built, and forgiveness serves as the healing balm to mend any cracks that may emerge. As Ephesians 4:32 reminds us, "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you." Prioritize the practice of forgiveness even during stormy times, allowing for growth, healing, and the restoration of trust. You've got to forge the walls to your marriage with trust and forgiveness. Let's say you've experienced infidelity in your marriage, which threatened to end your marriage in divorce. Obviously, trust is an issue. However, through seeking counseling and engaging in open conversations, you all decide to move forward as a couple, choosing to forgive and work towards rebuilding trust. Each day, you make conscious efforts to rebuild your relationship on a foundation of trust, transparency, and forgiveness. 3. Seek Professional Guidance and Support Just as sailors rely on navigational tools during a storm, seeking professional guidance can provide the necessary direction and strength to navigate marital challenges. Professional counselors, therapists, or trusted spiritual mentors can provide valuable insights, tools, and perspectives to help couples weather the storm and emerge stronger on the other side. Your marriage is not immune to the storms that life brings, but remember that with faith, resilience, and intentional actions, you can triumph over adversity. PRAYER: Psalm 107:29 proclaims, "He made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed." May the Lord bless your marriage. "Be present. Be incredible.
