Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed by doubts, fears, or uncertainties that weigh down your spirit and weaken your faith in God? Don't give up on God. He is faithful, but this question remains– Are you? Stir your faith. One of the reasons most of us stay grounded in negativity is that if we aren't expecting something good, there won't be anything to be disappointed in life. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co So let me ask you this. Do you struggle to trust in God's promises, presence, power, and provision in the midst of challenges, circumstances, and celebrations? If so, you're not alone. But that also means that you should not use it as an excuse to build a wall and claim your territory here on earth your way. And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. ~ Hebrews 11:6 Notice that faith is not just a nice accessory for your life, but a crucial component of your relationship with God. The key word is relationship! But then turn the tables. A lot of times, we are harsh on ourselves more so than we are on God. I can do better at being a mom or dad. I didn't do my best. I should not have spoken those words. Stop doubting yourself so God can stir your faith. The K.I.S.S. ~ Stir your faith! One thing I believe we harness is that God is an equal. And not in the direct since, but because our earthly minds can't wrap our brains to comprehend any differently. Faith - Walk by faith, not by sight. If you were to take away all your senses, and still believe...that's faith. God can do anything at any point, but we judge based on our time on our points. And I don't think we mean to do this directly that God is an equal. We do it indirectly. But this thought, this idea then becomes what stifles our faith and can eventually extinguish our faith. God deserves better from you and me. If you want to experience that the best is yet to come, you must stir your faith! As a follower of Jesus, you don't have to let your doubts lead your day or define your destiny. Instead, stir your faith by remembering God's character and His promises. He will not let you down. But consider that it's by His standards, not yours. So what you want is not always what you get. Look back on God's faithfulness for you in the past. What do you have to celebrate and be thankful for? When we review God's presence in our lives, our doubts can be radically transformed, drawing us to know Him more. Also, it gives us the opportunity to praise Him for His goodness and power that transcends our circumstances and reminds us that He is not limited by our doubts or fears. Hallelujah! Respond to His invitation to pray and seek His will for you every day. When you need to stir your faith, you can turn to God in prayer and seek His will, His guidance, and His comfort. You can also ask Him to show you any areas of unbelief or disobedience in your life, and to help you align your heart with His purpose and priorities. PRAYER: May God bless you and keep you, and make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you (Numbers 6:24-26). "Be present. Be incredible.

Marriage is the most rewarding covenant between two people that will take more work than two lifetimes. But don't be afraid to love and to change. You can be better than you were yesterday. Perfection shows up in a variety of ways. But when it shows up in marriage, it can become a destructive catalyst that leads to destroying two stories that were once beautiful together. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co How do you first see your spouse when you said, "I do"? I'm not asking about why you fell in love with your man or your woman; I asked what did you first see? Smile Eyes Kindness Honesty Optimism You see, it's interesting that when you date, all you can see is the good. Yet after a beautiful, expensive ceremony, all of a sudden, all you see are the faults, where they don't get it right, even when words and actions don't add up. So then you move into the idea that you can fix them. You got this. Nobody needs to worry about the mess you're in. You're gonna fix everything. All of sudden, you are playing a magician trying to sprinkle pixie dust on where your spouse falls short with the hope that you can perfect them. Oh, but wait– The promises you made when you said "I do" are not all out the window, tossed aside for no one to remember. All you know-- YOU ARE RIGHT!! No one can tell you differently. No one can convince you that something else is happening. But I'm here to tell you– Welcome to the circle of marriage. However, it doesn't have to stay this way. You don't have to be afraid to love and to change. You can grow together and be better together. But first, it takes you to see what your spouse sees. The K.I.S.S. ~ What does your reflection portray? If you can't get real with yourself, you will never be able to be real with your spouse. And that is unfortunate. Because if you can't overcome yourself, you won't be able to overcome together. You must do the unthinkable and really dig deep into the dusty wounds that have settled for decades. And that diggin' hurts. But if you aren't willing to clean it up and dig out the stuff that is continuously feeding the infectious bacteria in your wounds, it will never turn into a scar. You won't be able to own your CRAP, forgive yourself, and then forgive your spouse so you can build better together. However, something tells me that you don't want to quit where you sit. You want to build better together. You want to walk the long, winding road of healing so you can get to the other side. Are you ready to see what you don't see now? Be honest about who you are; the good, the bad, and the ugly. It might hurt your ego a little bit or even a lot. But it will be worth the glass you walk on. Every sliver will heal once you know who you see. Be better today than yesterday. You don't have to be perfect. But you do need to improve. Go back to the first meal you ever fixed. Maybe you burned the box of mac n cheese, or it was a little extra runny. If you could focus on one thing at a time and commit to being better today, then what you went through yesterday will be worth it when you look back tomorrow. Forgive as quickly as you remember. When you can make room in your heart to see your failures as lessons learned, or stumbling blocks to improve on, you can get beyond the attraction of perfection. And it's then, that you can proclaim that you will build better together. Don't be afraid to love and to change. CHALLENGE: Where are you struggling with yourself? Really look at yourself. And don't get all weepy, or if you need to, take this into the shower. Seriously! There's something about the water pouring over you that creates this atmosphere of reconciliation. You've got to break down the barriers. So what is it for you? What can you give to God and ask Him for help? What can you change by the tone of your voice, the quick backlash of your tongue, or the towering ego that you're always right? I want you to experience the incredible love God intended for marriage. But you have to look at yourself first. Marriage is the most rewarding covenant between two people that will take more work than two lifetimes. But don't be afraid to love and to change. You can be better than you were yesterday. PRAYER: May your reflection become a light in the darkness as you uncover and release that which holds you hostage. "Be present. Be incredible.

Are you ready for a welcomed change? It's summertime, and that means it's time to engage and entertain your children your way. So turn off the alarm clock and get ready to make memories. I absolutely LOVE summer. Probably, first because of the warmer weather. But then I get to have the kiddos home. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co However, as parents, it can be challenging to keep your kids engaged and entertained throughout the summer months. Now, I'm really grateful that I had my children during a different time. We didn't have as many electronics to get in the way. Gaming was just up and coming. And cell phones didn't become that awesome until about our third child was in high school. So there was still hope for us surviving without the distractions and all. Regardless of what you have in your home, there is hope that you can have a wonderful summer and not let your kids become jello. Don't fret about resorting to electronics or having your children spend too much time doing nothing. There are a few things you can do to not only keep your kids entertained but also to teach them valuable life skills. The K.I.S.S. ~ Get ready to make memories! Here are some tips that can help you raise your kids and have fun during the summer months: 1. Create a Daily Schedule: Though summer break is a time for kids to unwind and relax, it's still essential to have a structure in place. Create a daily schedule that includes time for fun activities as well as educational ones. Set aside time for reading, writing, and math, but also give kids enough time to play games and spend time outdoors. 2. Encourage Outdoor Activities: Summer is the perfect time to enjoy the great outdoors. Encourage kids to spend time outside by organizing exciting activities such as scavenger hunts, picnics, bike rides, and nature walks. These activities will not only keep kids physically active, but they'll also learn about nature and improve their observation skills. 3. Teach Life Skills: You can use the summer break to teach kids valuable life skills such as cooking, basic home maintenance, and gardening. This will not only help them become more independent, but it'll also introduce them to new hobbies and interests. These skills will prove valuable throughout their lives. 4. Take Day Trips: Summer is the ideal time to go on day trips to local museums, parks, and cultural sites. These trips are both educational and fun, giving kids something to look forward to while also learning more about their local area. You can also take them to nearby cities which can teach them about different cultures, music, and food. 5. Organize Fun Indoor Activities: There will be days when it's too hot or rainy to spend time outdoors. Make sure you have a few fun indoor activities planned in advance, such as board games, card games, puzzles, arts and crafts, and STEM projects. These activities will help kids develop their creativity and problem-solving skills. Summer is a beautiful season of opportunity for parents to teach valuable life skills to their kids while also having fun. By creating a daily schedule, encouraging outdoor activities, teaching life skills, taking day trips, and organizing fun indoor activities, you can ensure that your kids have an enjoyable summer break while also learning new things. PRAYER: May your enthusiasm for summer be life-giving for your children. See God's beauty in the moments as you create your now. "Be present. Be incredible.

How much time do you spend on scheduling? Between Franklin trainings, digital calendars, and daily reminders, there's really no excuse for missing anything. Don't leave behind what matters; waste nothing. We can get so wrapped up in all the activities, providing for the family, and keeping the dinner, dishes, and dogs in check, that we lose sight of the priority that God has on our life. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Today, I want to honor a woman who I had the privilege of interviewing for the podcast. Her name was Keridon McMahon. I learned of her online and got to know who she was that way, and then we connected, which eventually led us to a podcast interview. Unfortunately, her life ended too soon, two years ago. I'm not one who spends a lot of time on Facebook or social media. You know where to find me, here on the podcast or on the TV Show with Pray.com. But for some reason, I took an extra moment to pause and do a brief three-scroll shuffle. And there was one of Keridon's best friends posting a remembrance about her. I stopped to read the post, and she told her story about how she wasted nothing. "She made the most of every 24 hours and absolutely did not take her time on earth for granted. She loved hard, and did exactly what she was put on earth to do, wasting nothing." The K.I.S.S. ~ Waste nothing! It grabbed me in the moment! I had the honor to be a part of Keridon's story in a special way. I had no idea that the story she would tell, would then be her legacy. No one wants to talk about what happens when you're not here. But today, I want you to look at your life differently, the way Keridon did. You see, she didn't wait for her life to become a legacy. She was a living legacy. Keridon did what mattered most and wasted nothing. And I want to encourage you to go back and listen to her episode. The link is in the show notes, or you can go back to Episode 740. Yea– That was a long time ago. My friend, we need to wake up and smell the coffee so we can stop and smell the roses. Life is too short. Are you doing what you have been called to do? Are you living the life that God wants you to? "Excellence is not built on achievements that sit on a shelf. Excellence is created in the hearts you touch." ~ Kristianne Wargo Keridon lived out that life daily. "Living well doesn't happen by accident. It happens by design." ~ Keridon McMahon Waste nothing. CHALLENGE: Where is your focus? Are you focusing on the things that are more superficial? Are you hindering your own calling with dramatized excuses? Are you playing to the patterns of this world? And as you answer these questions, be specific about where your focus is. If you change your patterns, you change the world you touch. Live by God's design. Waste nothing. PRAYER: Philippians 4:13 ~ "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." You don't have to be fearful of what tomorrow brings. God has already gone before you and prepared a place.

A healthy lifestyle is much more than quick diets, supplements, and exercise. Most of the time, the rut is our guide, and we just go with it. Today it stops! Just tell the truth. Whether it's losing weight, gaining muscle, or living healthier, we often find ourselves searching for easy solutions that promise to help us reach our objectives quickly and with minimal effort. Unfortunately, the truth is that there are no shortcuts to a healthy life. The only way to truly achieve your goals and become your best selfie is to just tell the truth about where you are and why you struggle. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co The journey to becoming healthy is not an easy one. It requires discipline, hard work, and a willingness to confront the uncomfortable truth about ourselves. We often tell ourselves stories and make excuses to avoid the pain of facing our own shortcomings. We may justify our unhealthy habits by telling ourselves that we're too busy, too tired, or that we simply don't have what it takes to change. But the reality is that the only way to break free from our unhealthy patterns is to just tell the truth about why we're struggling. We have to be honest with ourselves about the obstacles that are standing in our way and the negative behaviors that are hindering our progress. It may not be fun to admit that we're addicted to junk food, that we skip workouts, or that we don't get enough sleep, but until we confront these truths, we can't make meaningful changes. The K.I.S.S. ~ Just tell the truth! Here are some specific ways you can just tell the truth about your habits and the changes you need to make in order to achieve your goals: 1. Track your habits: Start by tracking your habits for a week or two. Write down everything you eat, drink, and do each day. This will give you a clear picture of your patterns and help you identify areas where you need to make changes. 2. Identify your pain points: Take a close look at your tracking data and identify your pain points. What habits are holding you back from achieving your goals? What unhealthy behaviors do you need to address? Be honest with yourself about what needs to change. 3. Create a list of benefits: Write down the benefits of achieving your goals. How will your life be better when you're living a healthier lifestyle? This list can serve as a reminder of why you're making changes and help motivate you when you feel discouraged. 4. Create an avatar of your ideal self: Create a detailed avatar of the person you want to be. Include traits, habits, and behaviors that align with your goals. Use this avatar as a guide to help you stay on track and make choices that align with your vision. 5. Set realistic goals: Set realistic goals that align with your avatar. Be specific and create a plan of action for achieving those goals. This plan should include specific steps you need to take and a timeline for when you want to achieve each goal. 6. Hold yourself accountable: Finally, hold yourself accountable for your actions. Check in with your progress regularly and make adjustments as necessary. Celebrate your successes and learn from your mistakes. Remember, telling the truth is not always easy, but it is necessary for achieving lasting change. So, instead of looking for an easy fix or a magic solution, you need to start by telling the truth about your unhealthy habits and why you struggle to overcome them. When you're honest with yourself, you begin to open the doors to new possibilities and can move forward with clarity. Telling the truth is powerful because it allows you to replace your damaging lies with constructive solutions. Only then can you begin to create the real, sustained change that you need to become your best selfie. The journey to a healthy life is not an easy one, but it is possible. Stop looking for an easy way out. Instead, just tell the truth about your unhealthy habits and the reasons why you struggle. When you're honest with yourself, you can start to make real, meaningful changes that will help you achieve your goals and become the best version of yourself. Don't be afraid to confront the truth - it may make you mad at first, but it will ultimately set you free. "Be present. Be incredible.

Don't be fooled by what you can't do. You know more than you realize. Build your confidence in your strengths, and your weaknesses will follow. It's so easy to convince yourself that you don't know anything. You begin to question every decision, and wonder if you have what it takes to do what you are going after; like being a business owner, a mom, a writer, or a leader. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Life isn't about striving for the wrong things. So why are you doing it? Much of our time is spent holding ourselves hostage to what we can't do that we honestly forget what we do well. Don't be fooled! What if, for a moment, you could envision yourself achieving your dreams, reaching your goals, and doing what you know you're capable of? How would you feel? How much taller would you stand? Doing is not always fun, because doing takes work. Oftentimes, the lazy way is more satisfying short-term, yet we sacrifice what we really want for the long-term. So go back to how you would feel. Capture that moment in your head. Then I want you to feel it in your heart. The K.I.S.S. ~ Don't be fooled! You've got what it takes to go the extra mile. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo Let me ask you this. What have you been extremely focused on these past few days? And if you need to, stretch it out to the past few weeks. But I want you to be honest. You can't get ahead of where you are today if you're first not honest with yourself. Now, I completely understand that circumstances can dictate what you are able to create. But that doesn't me you can't create your now. Don't be fooled! You can reach for the stars. Meanwhile, when you are waiting, by taking A.I.M. at what you need to be doing next, you can continue to facilitate your schedule, utilize your strengths, and expand your knowledge. Don't be fooled!

It's easy to get caught up in daily routines and responsibilities. Stop just going through the motions and commit to the art of the moment. Because if you don't, you forget the magic that life has to offer. We can go through the motions without really being present, quickly forgetting what just happened. But what if we were to lean in, being fully present in each moment? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co What if the key to living a life of impact was simply the skill of presence, the art of the moment? Presence is a valuable skill that can benefit not only the mind and spirit, but also the body. Psalm 118:24 "This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." Matthew 6:25-34 "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." These verses emphasize the importance of being present, living in the moment, and trusting in God's providence. Life is too short, but it's also precious. "What you see every day, needs to be experienced in every way. This is what defines the art of the moment." ~ Kristianne Wargo If you are going to do all that God has planned for you... You have to be willing to take risks. You have to be willing to persevere when you are exhausted. You have to be willing to expand your heart for what's to come. The art of the moment is not about what you remember it to be, but experiencing it in a way that moves the needle for all hearts to see. However, it does not come easy. It's a skill that needs to be learned and refined. And one way to do this is through the power of iteration. The K.I.S.S. ~ Use the power of iteration! Now you might be questioning what I mean by iteration. Iteration refers to the process of repeating a task or action, with the explicit goal of improving and mastering it over time. By practicing presence in small moments throughout the day, such as sitting in traffic or enjoying a bite to eat, you can slowly become more aware of your surroundings and connect with the present moment. That's the art of the moment. When you understand presence and it's power, you'll understand the profound impacts it can have on the mind, decreasing stress levels and increasing focus and clarity. It can boost the body, as it allows you to be more aware of physical sensations and to be mindful of the food and drink you consume. And it can nourish the spirit, helping you to connect with God and find joy and peace in the moments. Being present in the moment takes practice, but the benefits are immeasurable. By cultivating presence, we can begin to live a more impactful and fulfilling life, one that is fully connected to the world around us and for those we encounter on our journey. Every moment is a gift — let us enjoy them fully. CHALLENGE: Where do you fall on the presence scale? Think of a number between 1 and 5, with 5 being so focused and intuned that you would burn through the floor if you were anything more. Ultimately, living a life of presence is an art form worth mastering. With each small moment, you have the opportunity to truly connect with your surroundings and impact the world that you touch. Embrace the art and use the power of iteration to continually improve your skills and become more present every day. Nothing is impossible when you fully commit to the art of the moment. PRAYER: May your tomorrow be filled with the sweet fragrance of your presence today. Continue living out your calling, and may each step that you take draw you closer to His purpose. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #MindsetMonday #CreateYourNow #PersonalDevelopment TAKE A.I.M. ~ Action Ignites Motivation - This is a complimentary (FREE) coaching call with me.

Have you ever found yourself questioning what God's plans are for your life? It's a common sentiment, and one that can leave us feeling anxious, uncertain, and helpless. But rest assured, God has a plan, and it is good. As Christians, we can find peace in the promise of Jeremiah 29:11. "For I know the plans I have for you", declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future". This verse is your assurance that God has a plan, and it is good. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co So why do we question God's plans? In moments of uncertainty, it's easy to let fear and doubt take over. You may be facing difficult circumstances or disappointments that make you question whether God truly has a plan for you. However, you must remember that God's ways are higher than your ways, and His thoughts are higher than yours (Isaiah 55:8-9). Instead of fearing the unknown, trust in our all-knowing God. Because when you trust in God, you acknowledge that your life is in His hands, and you have nothing to fear. This trust allows you to surrender your own plans and desires and to submit obediently to His will. The K.I.S.S. ~ It is good! As Romans 8:28 reminds us, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose". Trusting in God's plans can be difficult, especially when things don't go the way you expect. Yet, you must remember that God sees the bigger picture, and what seems like a setback to you may be a crucial step in His overall plan for your life. Just because you may not understand God's plan does not mean that it's not good. Continue to trust in Him and His promises. So I employ you today to hold onto the promise of Jeremiah 29:11, knowing that God has a plan for your life. Trust in His plans, even when the path forward seems unclear. His plan may not always be the easiest or most comfortable, but it is always good. Remember, nothing is impossible with God. PRAYER: Let your heart whisper through your day that "nothing is impossible," and "it is good." "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #SweetSpirit #CreateYourNow #SoulfulSunday TAKE A.I.M. ~ Action Ignites Motivation - This is a complimentary (FREE) coaching call with me.

Too many hours are spent living in the rearview mirror. How can you move forward and forgive if all you choose to see is what happened to you? Risk forward. Brighter days do exist beyond the pain. You don't have to let love fade, but commit to risk forward what matters in your marriage. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Marriage is not always easy, and there may be times when it feels like the two of you are just going through the motions. Often, we spend a lot of time looking back at past mistakes and dwelling on them, instead of looking forward and moving on. But, if we continue looking in the rearview mirror, we miss out on the present moment and the potential that lies ahead. Remember, love doesn't fade overnight, but we can grow apart if we forget to do our part in nurturing our relationships. However, it's never too late to start moving forward – risk forward and seize the moment that comes your way. The K.I.S.S. ~ Risk forward! Because if you don't, who will? No one!! Including your spouse. You can't wait for both of you to be on the same page. That's why you're in the predicament you're in. Be bold, not because you have the answers, but because you want to face your fear. If you are willing to do what seems impossible, that's when the doors of opportunities open. Now, I'm not saying this will "fix" your marriage. But it will begin to push you forward. 1. Be present in the moment. Stop looking back and start living in the present. True happiness comes from living in the moment and appreciating the now. This means making a conscious effort to be present when you're spending time with your partner, allowing the past to simply fade away. 2. Heal intentionally. If there are deep wounds in your marriage, it's important to take the time to heal with your partner. This can involve seeking therapy or counseling, or simply allowing yourselves the time you need to talk things out and process your feelings. 3. Focus on the positive. Instead of dwelling on the negative aspects of your relationship, try to focus on the positive things that brought you together in the first place. Write a list of the things you love about your partner and make an effort to express your gratitude for them regularly. 4. Risk more. Sometimes, taking a risk can be scary, but it can also be incredibly rewarding. This could mean planning a spontaneous date or trying something new, like a hobby or activity you've always wanted to try. 5. Communicate openly. Communication is key in any relationship, and it's especially important when you're trying to move forward from the past. Be honest with your partner about your feelings and encourage them to do the same. This will help you to create a stronger, more transparent bond. You can start to move past the rearview mirror and risk forward in your marriage. Remember, love is not just a feeling – it's a verb; and that verb requires action. So, take action today to invest in your relationship and create a brighter future together. PRAYER: May your past become a shadow of your present that you are willing to look in the face and move to another spot to find a bright silhouette. You shine brighter the more you reveal in the light. No more darkness in your marriage. "Be present. Be incredible.

Have you ever thought of how to train up your shadow to become their best selfie? Your children are your constant companions and mirrors, reflecting your every action, good and bad. Be the shadow you want to see. So instead of lamenting over their chaotic and mischievous nature, why not take the reins and propel them toward greatness? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Parenting is one of the most challenging yet rewarding experiences one can go through. By employing the right methods, you can parent your child and nurture them into their best selves. One of the most crucial aspects of parenting is training up your shadow, aka your child, to become their best selfie. Children learn best by example, and as a parent, you are always being watched. Your attitudes, behaviors, and decisions have a profound impact on your little ones. Ready yourself to model the traits and behaviors you want to be repeated. The K.I.S.S. ~ Model the traits and behaviors you want to be repeated! So, what can you do to ensure that you're modeling the traits and behaviors that you want to see in your children? Here are a few tips: 1. Lead by Example It's often said that actions speak louder than words, and that couldn't be truer when it comes to parenting. If you want your children to be kind, honest, and respectful, then you need to model those behaviors yourself. Think about the kind of person you want your child to become, and then live those qualities out in your own life. 2. Encourage Individuality Your child is their own person, with their own thoughts, feelings, and interests. Encourage them to explore their passions and discover what makes them unique. Celebrate their successes and help them navigate their failures. Building self-confidence and a sense of agency in your child will help them become more independent and self-assured. 3. Create Goals Together Setting goals together is a great way to teach your child the importance of hard work, commitment, and perseverance. Encourage your child to come up with goals that align with their passions and interests, and then help them create a plan of action to achieve those goals. 4. Practice Active Listening Listening to your child is essential to understanding their needs, wants, and concerns. Practice active listening by giving your child your undivided attention when they talk to you. Ask follow-up questions, summarize what they've said, and validate their feelings. 5. Celebrate Achievements & Failures When your child achieves something, no matter how small, celebrate their success together. Positive reinforcement is a powerful motivator and reinforces the idea that hard work and dedication pay off. Parenting can be chaotic, challenging, and rewarding all at the same time. By training up your shadow to become their best selfie, you can help your child become a confident, capable, and compassionate person. Remember, you are their role model, and the behaviors you model today will shape their future. Let's make it a bright one! Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. ~ Proverbs 22:6 PRAYER: Even though the days are long and the nights are short, may your patience, love, and compassion be what is seen first as you raise your child. The hard work today is a beautiful future for your child. "Be present. Be incredible.
