About this episode

There's an old saying that you become like the five people you spend the most time with. And while that might sound like something from a self-help book on a clearance rack, there's actually deep, biblical truth tucked inside it. The company you keep matters more than most of us are willing to admit. And it's not

because the people around us define us, but because they shape the atmosphere we breathe, the thoughts we entertain, and the steps we're willing to take. And if we're serious about walking in wisdom, we have to be honest about who's walking beside us. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com #SweetSpirit #CreateYourNow #SoulfulSunday Proverbs 13:20 puts it plainly: "Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm." There's no gray area there. No wiggle room. The company you keep doesn't just affect your mood on a Tuesday afternoon — it affects the trajectory of your life. Wisdom isn't only something we read or study. Wisdom is something we absorb through proximity. We catch it the way we catch courage — by being close to someone who carries it. And then Paul echoes this truth centuries later in his letter to the Corinthians: "Do not be misled: bad company corrupts good character." He wasn't writing to people living recklessly. He was writing to believers — people who loved God but were being slowly pulled off course by the voices around them. That's the part that should make us pause. You don't have to abandon your faith to drift from it. Sometimes you just have to surround yourself with people who quietly make it easier not to grow. Now let's talk about Ruth — because her story is one of the most beautiful pictures of what it looks like to choose your company wisely. When Naomi told her daughters-in-law to go back to their families, it would've been perfectly reasonable for Ruth to leave. She had every right. Every logical reason. Orpah kissed Naomi goodbye and turned around, and nobody blamed her. But Ruth? Ruth held on tighter. She said, "Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God." That wasn't just loyalty. That was wisdom wrapped in love. Ruth looked at Naomi — a grieving widow with empty hands and a broken heart — and she didn't see a liability. She saw a woman whose faith had weathered the storm. She saw someone worth walking with. And that decision, that one holy choice to stay close to a wise woman, changed the entire course of Ruth's life. It led her to Bethlehem. It led her to Boaz. It led her to the lineage of Jesus Christ. Think about that for a moment. Ruth didn't end up in the genealogy of our Savior because she had a five-year plan. She ended up there because she chose the right company. She attached herself to someone whose life pointed toward God — and God honored that. The K.I.S.S. ~ The company you keep! So here's the question that deserves more than a quick answer: Who are you walking with? Not who's in your contact list. Not who you wave to at church or laugh with at brunch. Who are the people shaping your inner world? Who do you call when the bottom falls out? Whose voice plays on repeat in your head when you're making a hard decision? Those are the people who matter — because those are the ones influencing the direction you're actually walking in. Some of us have been pouring into friendships that quietly pull us away from the woman God is calling us to become. Not because those people are bad, but because they're comfortable. And comfort, when it replaces growth, becomes its own kind of cage. Wisdom asks us to be brave enough to evaluate — with grace, not judgment — whether the people closest to us are sharpening our faith or dulling it. This isn't about cutting people off coldly or ranking your relationships like a corporate org chart. It's about being intentional. It's about recognizing that who you walk with will determine where you end up. And if you want to end up somewhere that honors the calling on your life, you need people around you who remind you of that calling — even when you're tempted to forget it. Ruth didn't just tag along with Naomi for the company. She committed to a journey that required sacrifice, humility, and faith she couldn't yet see the fruit of. But she trusted that walking with a woman of God would lead her somewhere good. And it did. Beyond anything she could have imagined. The wisdom here isn't complicated, but it is convicting. Walk with the wise, and you will become wise. Walk with those who take their faith seriously, and you'll find your own faith deepening in ways you didn't plan. Walk with people who speak life, who point you to Scripture when you're spiraling, who love you enough to tell you the truth — and watch how your path straightens. You were never meant to walk this journey alone, and you were never meant to walk it with just anyone. The company you keep is one of the most important decisions you'll make — not once, but every single day. Choose wisely. Choose people who make you want to be more of who God created you to be. And then be that person for someone else. Because wisdom doesn't just sit on a shelf. It walks. And it walks best when it walks together. "Be present. Be incredible.

  1. 14207 Refuse the VerdictYou woke up this morning, and before your feet even hit the floor, there was already noise. Not the alarm. Not the kids. Something deeper, quieter, meaner — a thought that slid in before you had the chance to decide what kind of day this was going to be. And if you're not careful, that thought will try to run the whole show. But you don't have to let it. Today is your invitation to refuse the verdict, because you were named before the noise ever began. WOW!! Sit with that for a minute. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com #Inspiration #CreateYourNow #DailyMotivation Every single one of us has a thought life. And if we're being real, some of what lives in that thought life is not pretty. There are thoughts that accuse. Thoughts that shame. Thoughts that drag up the worst version of yesterday and try to convince you that's who you are today. You're not doing enough. You're falling behind. Everyone else has it figured out and you're just faking it. Sound too familiar? THINK NOW: A thought that passes through your mind is not a truth that was spoken over your life. Those two things could not be more different. One is noise. The other is a name. And you need to know the difference, because the enemy will work overtime to blur the line between them. He wants you to hear an accusation and call it an identity. He wants you to feel shame and call it a fact. He wants you to mistake his whisper for God's verdict. But he doesn't get that power. He never did. Imagine you're standing in a courtroom and someone is reading off a list of charges against you. Every mistake, every failure, every moment you wish you could take back — it's all right there, spoken out loud. And just when the weight of it feels like it might crush you, the Judge stands up and says, Case dismissed. No condemnation. Not now. Not ever. Romans 8:1 — "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." It's not about less condemnation on your good days or even a lighter sentence when you've been trying really hard. It's NO condemnation. Case closed. The gavel came down. And it came down in your favor — not because of anything you did, but because of everything He already did. The K.I.S.S. ~ Refuse the verdict! So what does that mean for you today? Right now? Well, that thought that tried to define you this morning doesn't get the last word. The shame that keeps circling back around doesn't get to sit at your table. You get to choose how you show up in your own life — and you get to show up as who God says you are, not as who the enemy tries to convince you that you've become. You are chosen. You are loved. You are called. Before the foundation of the world, God knew your name — and it was not failure. It wasn't not enough. It wasn't too far gone. It was beloved. It was daughter. It was mine. That's the name that was spoken over you before the noise ever started. And that name doesn't change based on what crossed your mind at two o'clock in the morning. So the next time a dark thought shows up and tries to hand you a verdict you were never meant to carry, stand in the truth of who you are. Open your mouth and say it out loud if you have to: I am not what passed through my mind. I am what my Father declared over my life. And His word doesn't return void. Because you get to choose. Every morning, every evening, every moment, every breath — you get to choose whose voice you agree with. The noise will always be there. The accusations will knock on the door. But you are not obligated to answer. You are not required to let them in. And you are certainly not defined by them. You were named before any of it. And the One who named you is not taking it back. Rise with truth today. Refuse the verdict that was never yours. And walk forward knowing truly that the only voice with the authority to define you already spoke. And what He said was enough. That's how you create your now. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"   🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

  2. 24206 The Lies That Feel Like HomeSome lies announce themselves. They crash into your day with a voice so sharp you know immediately something is wrong. But the most dangerous lies aren't shouted out loud. They whisper. They've been whispering so long you stopped recognizing them as anything other than your own voice — and that is exactly what makes the lies that feel like home so hard to leave behind. You know the ones. I'm not enough. It's too late for me. Everyone else has it figured out. They don't feel like attacks. They feel like facts. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com #MindsetMonday #CreateYourNow #PersonalDevelopment They've lived in you for so long — through rejection, through loss, through seasons that knocked the wind out of you — that they've settled in like furniture. You don't even bump into them anymore. You just walk around them. But here's what I need you to hear today: just because a thought has been with you for years doesn't mean it belongs to you. As Jennie Allen reminds us in Get Out of Your Head, the most dangerous lies aren't the ones we fight — they're the ones we never think to question. And she's right. When a lie has lived in you long enough, it stops sounding like an intruder. It sounds like you. It wears your voice, carries your memories, and uses your worst moments as evidence. Think about it. Nobody sat you down one day and said, "Here — believe this about yourself." It happened slowly. A rejection in middle school. A careless comment from someone you trusted. A failure that confirmed what you were already afraid of. And then one day, without ever making a conscious decision, you accepted it. You stopped questioning it. You started building your life around it. That's how lies become home. Not because they're true, but because they're familiar. But God never called you to live in a house built on lies. John 8:32 says, "Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." Free. Not managed. Not coped with. Free. The truth doesn't just challenge the lie — it dismantles it. But you have to be willing to name what you've been carrying before you can set it down. And here's where it gets beautifully personal. The truth God speaks over you isn't generic. It's specific. It's intimate. 1 John 3:1 says, "See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!" That's not a suggestion. That's a declaration. You are not what the lie says. You are what your Father says. And He says you are His. So let it go, and name it to break it. The K.I.S.S. ~ Name it to break it! So let me ask you this: if someone handed you a script right now — every negative thing you believe about yourself, written in black and white — would you hand it to your daughter? Would you read it over your best friend? Then why are you still reading it over yourself? It's time to call the lies out. Not next month. Not when you feel ready. Right now. Here's your Keep It Simple Strategy for this week. DOWNLOAD HERE! 1. Tell the Truth about the Lies. Grab a journal or even the back of an envelope — whatever's close. Write down the three statements you most often say about yourself when no one is listening. Not the polished version. Not the one you'd share in a small group. The raw, unfiltered script that runs on repeat when you're alone in the car or staring at the ceiling at 2 a.m. Be honest — don't soften them. You can't evict a lie you won't name. Seeing it in your own handwriting is the first act of courage. 2. Let God Talk Back. Next to each lie, write what God says about you instead — and use Scripture as your source, not your feelings. Feelings shift; His Word doesn't. If the lie is "I'm not enough," counter it with Ephesians 2:10: "For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works." If it's "It's too late," try Jeremiah 29:11 or Isaiah 43:19.  If it's "Nobody really sees me," anchor into 1 John 3:1: "See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!" Don't rush this step. Let the contrast sit on the page — lies on the left, truth on the right — and notice how different they sound when they're side by side. 3. Replace One Lie — Out Loud. You don't have to conquer all three this week. Pick the one that has the deepest grip — the lie that shows up most often or hurts the most — and commit to actively replacing it. Every single time it surfaces, speak the truth out loud. In your kitchen. In the car. In the mirror. Your ears need to hear your mouth agree with God, even if your voice shakes while you say it. Repetition isn't weakness — it's retraining. You didn't learn the lie overnight, and you won't unlearn it overnight either. But every time you speak truth over that lie, you loosen its hold. The lies you've been living with don't deserve the space they've been taking up. They moved in uninvited, and they've overstayed their welcome. You have the authority — through Christ — to show them the door. Not because you're strong enough on your own, but because the One who lives in you is stronger than the voice that's been lying to you. You don't have to have it all figured out by Friday. You just have to start. One lie. One truth. One brave, shaky declaration spoken out loud in your kitchen while the coffee brews. You are enough! "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"   🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

  4. 44204 Speak Your Spouse's LanguageYou can love your spouse deeply, consistently, and sincerely, yet they still feel unloved. This has nothing to do with doing it right or wrong; it's about speaking your love language instead of theirs. How you express love matters, especially when nobody is keeping score. So speak your spouse's language. Most of us default to loving people the way we want to be loved. It makes sense. If words of encouragement fill your cup, you naturally pour words into your spouse. If you feel most connected through quality time, you assume sitting together on the couch is the ultimate act of devotion. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com #RelationshipBuilders #CreateYourNow #LoveAndMarriage But what if your spouse's cup has a completely different shape? What if the love you are pouring is spilling right over the edges because the container does not match? This is not about doing more. It is about doing it differently. Think about it this way. Imagine someone speaking to you passionately, urgently, with everything in them — but in a language you have never heard. You can see the effort. You can feel the emotion. But you cannot understand a single word. That is what happens in a marriage when two people are expressing love fluently — but in two completely different love languages. Whether it is words of affirmation, quality time, acts of service, receiving gifts, or physical touch — every person has a primary way they receive love. And your spouse's way may look nothing like yours. Here is where it gets uncomfortable. It is not your spouse's job to translate your love into something they can feel. It is your job to learn how they hear it — and then love them that way on purpose. That does not mean your way of loving is wrong. It means it is yours. And marriage is not about loving for yourself. It is about loving for the person standing next to you. Philippians 2:3–4 puts it plainly: "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others." That is the posture of a marriage that lasts. Not "here is what I need from you," but "tell me what love sounds like in your world, and I will learn to speak it." Now, does that mean your needs do not matter? Absolutely not. This goes both ways. But someone has to go first. Someone has to be the one who stops assuming and starts asking. Why not let that someone be you? And honestly? Most couples have never even had the conversation. You have been married for years — maybe decades — and you have never sat across from each other and said, "What makes you feel most loved by me?" We plan vacations. We talk about finances. We negotiate bedtimes and grocery lists. But we skip the one conversation that could change the temperature of our entire home. "Love spoken in the wrong language still sounds like silence." ~ Kristianne Wargo And silence in a marriage — especially an unintentional one — creates distance that nobody meant to build. So how do we close that gap? The K.I.S.S. ~ Learn to love fluently What do you do fluently now? What is working and what is not? If you are willing to experiment with how to love your spouse, it will strengthen your marriage from the bottom up. 1. CONVERSE with your spouse. Ask your spouse directly: "What makes you feel most loved by me?" Do not assume you already know. Their answer might surprise you — and it will certainly guide you. Sit with it. Write it down if you need to. This is not a quiz. It is an invitation to know them more deeply than you did yesterday. 2. IDENTIFY your own love language and share it. Marriage is a two-way street. Let your spouse know what fills your cup so they are not guessing either. When you both have the words for what you need, you stop playing a guessing game that nobody wins. 3. PRACTICE one deliberate act in your spouse's love language every day this week. If their language is acts of service, handle something on their list without being asked. If it is words of affirmation, leave a note where they will find it. If it is physical touch, reach for their hand before they reach for yours. Small and consistent beats grand and occasional every time. Fluency does not happen overnight. You are going to fumble. You are going to default back to your own language because it is comfortable and it is what you know. That is okay. Love is patient, love is kind — and love is also a practice. 1 Corinthians 13 reminds us that love does not insist on its own way. It does not keep a record of who did what first or who got it right. It just keeps showing up. And that is all this is. Showing up — not with what is easy for you, but with what matters to your spouse. Rainer Maria Rilke once wrote, "The highest form of love is to be the protector of another person's solitude." Think about that for a moment. The highest form of love is not filling every silence or fixing every problem. Sometimes it is simply knowing your person well enough to give them exactly what their soul needs — even when it looks nothing like what yours would ask for. That is fluency. That is what it means to speak your spouse's language. QUESTION: What language has your spouse been speaking that you might have been missing? And what would it look like to answer them back in the one they actually hear? You do not need a perfect plan. You need a willing heart and an open mouth. Willing to ask Willing to listen Willing to love differently than you have been loved before Until next time — keep falling in love all over again. "Be present. Be incredible.

  5. 54203 When Did I Disappear?It happened so slowly you didn't even notice—one day you were the woman with dreams of her own, opinions spoken out loud, hobbies that didn't need justifying. And then somewhere between the dinner, dishes, and dogs, she quietly left the room. Not dramatically. Not with a slamming door. She just… faded. And nobody noticed. Not even you. So when did I disappear? If that question hits you somewhere deep, you're not alone. And you're not broken. You are a woman who loved so hard, so completely, that she forgot to save a seat for herself at her own table. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com #ConfessionsOfAnUpsetMama #CreateYourNow #TodaysParent Here's what no one tells you when you become a mother: the world hands you a baby and quietly takes your name. From that moment forward, your worth gets measured in lunches packed, fevers managed, schedules kept, and tears wiped — everyone's tears but your own. And then comes the guilt. Oh, the guilt. Mom guilt is a heavy, uninvited companion. It shows up the moment you sit down for five minutes. It whispers that rest is laziness. That wanting something for yourself means you're selfish. That a good mom doesn't have needs — she meets them. And if you're not completely exhausted by the end of the day? You must not be doing enough. But can I tell you something? You didn't fail. You didn't become less. You loved so fiercely, so fully, that you forgot to leave room for you. You gave and gave and gave until the woman you used to be became a stranger. And the saddest part? You didn't even get to say goodbye to her. You know who else got caught up in the doing? Martha. In Luke 10, Jesus is at Martha's home. And while her sister Mary sits at His feet, Martha is running around the kitchen, managing the meal, making sure everything is just right for everyone else. She's serving. She's giving. She's doing what good women do — right? And she's doing it so hard that she finally breaks. She goes to Jesus and says, essentially, Don't You even care that I'm doing all of this alone? And what does Jesus say? He doesn't scold her. He doesn't tell her she's a bad host. He speaks her name — twice. "Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed — or indeed only one." He called her by name. Not "the hostess." Not "the one in the kitchen." Martha. Because He saw what she had forgotten — that she was more than what she was doing. That her identity didn't live in the serving. It lived in the being. And somewhere between the bread and the worry, she had stopped being and started just surviving. Mama, how many of us are Martha right now? Busy. Stretched thin. Exhausted. Wondering why nobody sees how much we're carrying — and not realizing that we stopped seeing ourselves first. That's what the disappearance looks like. It's not one dramatic exit. It's a thousand tiny surrenders — the hobby you stopped making time for, the friend you haven't called in months, the dream you tucked away "for later" that quietly turned into "never." It's ordering for everyone else at the table and forgetting to order for yourself. Literally and figuratively. But here's the truth that guilt doesn't want you to hear: recognizing the disappearance is the first brave step toward finding yourself again. The fact that you feel something missing? That's not weakness. That is your soul waving her hand from the back of the room saying, I'm still here. Come find me. And Scripture backs that up. Psalm 139:14 says, "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well."  That verse wasn't written only for the version of you that existed before kids. It's for this you — the tired you, the stretched-thin you, the one who can't remember the last time she did something just because it made her happy. You are still fearfully and wonderfully made. That didn't expire when motherhood began. And 1 Peter 3:4 reminds us that true beauty is "the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight." Unfading. Not earned by how well you perform. Not measured by how many things you checked off the list today. Your worth in God's eyes has never been about your output. It's about your heart. And that heart — your heart — deserves to be tended to, not just poured out. So what do you do now? You start small. You start with seeing. The K.I.S.S. ~ See yourself again! Think about what you do now. Are you one who just puts your feelings in your pocket and moves on to the next person who needs you?  Where is that getting you? Or maybe you are one who knows that something needs to change, and you've tried a few things, but nothing has stuck. You can see yourself again, and call yourself by name. 1. ASK the mirror question. Stand in front of the mirror for 60 seconds. You're not there to fix anything — just to see yourself. Say your name. Not "Mom." Your name. Remind yourself she's still here. You are beautiful! 2. REFLECT on this sentence. "Something I used to love that I haven't done in a long time is __________." Don't act on it yet. Just let yourself remember. 3. APOLOGIZE NO MORE for having needs. The next time you need something — rest, space, a moment alone — state it without saying sorry. Your needs are not an inconvenience, and neither are you. Mama, I need you to hear this and hear it clearly: you didn't disappear because you weren't enough. You disappeared because you gave too much of yourself without anyone — including you — making sure there was something left. You can't pour into others what you've already poured out of yourself. And you've been pouring for a long, long time. But the woman you were before the title of "Mom" landed on your shoulders? She's not gone. She's buried under the to-do lists and the carpool schedules and the guilt that told her she didn't deserve to take up space. She's still in there. And she is worth looking for. Jesus didn't look at Martha and see a problem. He saw a woman who had forgotten her own name. And He spoke it back to her — gently, lovingly — because that's what He does. He calls us back to ourselves. Not to the version of us that performs well enough to feel worthy, but to the version of us that was already worthy before we did a single thing. So today, take one step. Just one. Look in the mirror. Say your name. Remember what you love. And let the journey back to yourself begin — not with guilt, but with grace. Because one step at a time leads to miles of greatness. You are more than mama. And she — you — are worth every step it takes to find her again. "Be present. Be incredible.

  6. 64202 Breathe Where You AreThere's something inside most of us that kicks in the moment life starts pressing down. When the weight shows up — the uncertainty, the waiting, the silence that feels too long — our first instinct is to push. To claw. To hustle our way back into motion because at least movement feels like progress. But what if the bravest thing you could do right now is simply breathe where you are? What if this season isn't asking you to perform your way out — but to be present right where you've been planted? Now, that may sound counterintuitive. We live in a world that celebrates output. The grind. The glow-up. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com #Inspiration #CreateYourNow #DailyMotivation And while there's nothing wrong with working hard and reaching for more, there are moments — sacred, holy, often uncomfortable moments — when God whispers something we don't want to hear: Stay. Not because He's forgotten you. Not because the dream is dead. But because He's doing something in the stillness that striving could never accomplish. Think about a seed for a moment. When it's buried beneath the soil, it doesn't thrash. It doesn't fight its way to the surface on the first day. It breathes. It absorbs. It lets the darkness do what the darkness was designed to do — break open the shell so something new can begin to grow. The seed doesn't perform for the soil. It simply surrenders to the process. And that's what this season is asking of you. Maybe you're in a place right now where nothing seems to be moving. The prayers feel like they're hitting the ceiling. The breakthrough you were so sure was coming hasn't shown up yet. And every day you wonder if you should be doing more, trying harder, pushing further. But here's what I want you to hear today: stillness in the soil isn't defeat. It's obedience. Psalm 46:10 says, "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." Notice it doesn't say be still after you've figured it out. It doesn't say be still once everything makes sense. It says be still — period. And then know. Know that He is God. Know that He hasn't lost control of your story just because you can't see the next chapter. The K.I.S.S. ~ Breathe where you are! Being still doesn't mean being passive. It means being present. It means letting your mind and your heart come into agreement instead of letting anxiety drive you into action that God never asked you to take. Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is stop producing. Sometimes the deepest growth happens when your hands are open, not clenched. As Priscilla Shirer so beautifully put it, "Sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is stop striving and let God hold you." Let that sink in for a second. Allow yourself to be connected back in the arms of a God who has never once been in a hurry about your becoming. So breathe. Create your now. Not because there's nothing left to do — but because this pause is part of the plan. The stillness isn't stealing your momentum. It's anchoring it. It's connecting your mind and your heart so that when the time comes to move, you move from wholeness, not from panic. You move because you're led, not because you're afraid of falling behind. You don't have to perform for God. You don't have to prove to Him that you're worthy of the next season. You just have to be — fully, honestly, imperfectly present — and trust that He is doing the rest beneath the surface where your eyes can't reach. This is your permission slip today. Stop clawing. Stop striving. Stop measuring your worth by how fast you're moving. Breathe where you are and let the God who planted you tend to what's growing. The bloom is coming. But right now, the roots need room to stretch. And roots only grow deep when you stop pulling yourself up to check on them. You're not stuck. You're not forgotten. You're being held. And that, sweet friend, is exactly where you need to be. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"   🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

  7. 74201 Growing Pains That Still GrowWhy does growing have to hurt? I mean, we talk about growth like it's this beautiful, sun-drenched thing — butterflies emerging, flowers blooming, all of it wrapped in soft lighting and your favorite song playing in the background. And sure, sometimes it is that. But other times? Other times it feels like you've been turned inside out. Like the life you built — the one that fit so perfectly last year — is suddenly two sizes too small, and you can't breathe in it anymore. That's the part no one puts on the vision board: growing pains that still grow. You know the feeling. Something in your life starts to shift — maybe it's your perspective, maybe it's your priorities, maybe it's your prayer life — and suddenly the relationships that once felt like home start to feel a little… off. Not because those people did anything wrong. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com #WellspringWednesday #CreateYourNow #HealthAndWellness But because you're not the same person who walked into those rooms. And that's a strange kind of grief, isn't it? Grieving something that isn't gone — it just doesn't fit the way it used to. Or maybe for you it's not a relationship. Maybe it's a role. The title you carried proudly for years — the one that used to define you — and now it feels like a borrowed coat. Too heavy. Too stiff. You keep wearing it because you don't know who you are without it, but every morning it gets a little harder to button up and pretend it's still yours. Here's what I want you to know: that ache? It's not a warning sign. It's not God telling you something went wrong. It's the exact opposite. It's the stretch marks of the soul, and they only show up when something inside you is expanding faster than the space you've been living in. Think about it this way. When a child has growing pains — those middle-of-the-night, throbbing-leg, "Mama, it hurts" moments — no parent panics and says, "Quick, make her stop growing!" You rub their legs. You tell them it's going to be okay. You remind them that what hurts right now is actually proof that their body is doing exactly what it was made to do. So why don't we extend ourselves the same grace? I think it's because we've been quietly taught that discomfort means disobedience. That if we were really walking in God's will, the path would be smoother. But Scripture tells a very different story. Romans 8:28 says, "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." All things. Not just the beautiful things. Not just the comfortable things. The aching, awkward, "I don't even recognize myself anymore" things — He's working in those too. And sometimes, honestly? The discomfort is the work. I remember a season — and maybe you've had one like it — where I had to let go of something I loved. Not because it was bad. It was good. It was familiar. But it had become a hiding place, and God doesn't grow us in hiding places. He grows us in open fields where the wind can reach us. Where we're exposed, yes — but also where we can finally spread out. That letting go didn't feel like freedom at first. It felt like loss. But on the other side of it? That's where the bloom was waiting. C.S. Lewis once wrote, "It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg." I love that. Because it captures the absurdity of what we sometimes try to do — we want the wings without the cracking. We want the new life without the death of the old shape. But that's not how becoming works. Becoming is a series of holy interruptions. It's God saying, I love you too much to let you stay comfortable when I created you for something bigger. And if that makes your chest tight and your eyes sting a little — good. That means you're paying attention. Grow through the ache. The K.I.S.S. ~ Grow through the ache! So what do we do with the ache? How do we keep walking when every step stretches us past what feels safe? 1. NAME ONE AREA where growth is causing discomfort, and resist the urge to shrink back to a more comfortable size. This takes more courage than it sounds like. Because shrinking is so subtle. It doesn't announce itself. It shows up as "maybe I was being too ambitious," or "I should just be grateful for what I have," or "who am I to think I could do that?" And gratitude is beautiful, and humility is necessary. But there's a difference between being humble and being hidden. Isaiah 54:2 says, "Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes." God isn't asking you to be comfortable. He's asking you to make room. Maybe right now that means staying in the hard conversation instead of backing away from it. Maybe it means keeping your hand raised for that opportunity even though your voice shook when you said yes. Maybe it means simply admitting out loud, "I'm growing, and it doesn't feel good yet, but I'm not going to stop."  Name the place. Stay in it. And remind yourself that the ache isn't a stop sign — it's a growth marker. 2. GIVE yourself PERMISSION to grieve what you're outgrowing (a habit, a role, a version of yourself — without guilt). This one is so important, and it's the one most of us skip. We jump straight from "old season" to "new season" like there's no hallway in between. But there is a hallway, and it's called grief, and it's holy ground. You're allowed to miss who you were. You're allowed to mourn the friendships that shifted, the routines that no longer serve you, the version of yourself who had it all figured out — even if "figured out" really just meant "under control." Ecclesiastes 3:1 reminds us, "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens." A time to plant and a time to uproot. A time to hold on and a time to let go. Grieving isn't weakness. It's wisdom. It's your heart's way of honoring what was real before making space for what's next. So if you need to cry about it — cry. If you need to journal three ugly pages about how unfair it feels — do it. And then get up, wash your face, and keep becoming. The tears don't disqualify you. They water the soil. 3. ANCHOR yourself in one scripture that reminds you that stretching is part of God's design for your life. When the ache hits — and it will — you need something to grab onto that isn't your feelings. Feelings are real, but they aren't always reliable narrators. Scripture is. Find one verse that speaks directly to where you are and plant your feet on it. Maybe it's Philippians 1:6: "Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." He started this. He's not going to leave it half-done. Or maybe it's James 1:2-4: "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." Perseverance is finishing its work in you right now — even when it feels like falling apart. Write your verse on a sticky note. Put it on your mirror. Say it out loud in the car when that familiar ache creeps in. Let it be your anchor when the stretching makes you want to snap back to who you were. Please remember this: the discomfort you're feeling is not a sign that you're failing. It's a sign that you're outgrowing. And the only thing worse than the pain of growing is the pain of staying the same when God has called you to more. You're not falling apart, my friend. You're being reshaped. And the woman on the other side of this ache will look back and realize every stretch mark was a story—and every story pointed to a God who loved her enough to never leave her where she was. Let it go and keep growing, especially when it hurts.  "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"   🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

  8. 84200 Speak Truth to YourselfThere's a version of you that shows up every morning with a smile already rehearsed. She knows the right words — I'm fine, I'm blessed, I'm good — and she delivers them so well that most people never think to ask a follow-up question. She's pleasant. She's put together. And she is exhausted from the performance. But today, let's get a little I  uncomfortable; speak truth to yourself. It's not truth aimed at someone else or spoken from a stage or typed out in a text. It is the kind of truth that happens when you close the door, sit with God, and finally stop narrating the version of your life you wish were real. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com #Inspiration #CreateYourNow #DailyMotivation Honesty is not weakness. It's not failure. It's not proof that your faith isn't working. Honesty is the very foundation every real, lasting change is built on. You cannot transform what you refuse to name. You cannot heal what you keep hiding — not from others, but from yourself. Think about what plays on repeat in your mind when no one else is listening. The worry you've dressed up as planning. The resentment you've renamed "boundaries." The sadness you've buried under busyness so deep you barely recognize it anymore. Those thoughts aren't your enemy. They're your starting point. And God already knows every single one of them. The psalmist David understood this. In one of his rawest, most unguarded moments, he wrote, "Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb; you taught me wisdom in that secret place" (Psalm 51:6). God desires truth in the inward parts. Not the public parts. Not the Sunday morning parts. It's the secret place; the place where your real thoughts live. The place you've been afraid to let anyone — including Him — fully into. The K.I.S.S. ~ Speak truth to yourself! God isn't standing at the door of that secret place with a clipboard and a disappointed look. He's standing there with an invitation. He already knows what's inside. He's not shocked by your doubt, your frustration, your grief, your anger, or the prayer you can't bring yourself to pray out loud. He knew it before you thought it. And He's not asking you to clean it up before you bring it to Him. He's asking you to bring it — messy, unedited, and real — because that's where intimacy begins. We spend so much energy performing "fine" that we forget what it feels like to simply be. To sit in the truth of where we actually are without rushing to fix it, spiritualize it, or slap a scripture on it like a Band-Aid. Scripture was never meant to be a Band-Aid. It was meant to be a mirror, a lamp, a sword — something that goes deep enough to do real work. But it can only reach the places we're willing to expose. Thomas Jefferson once said, "Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom." The first chapter. Not the last. Not the climax. The beginning. That means you don't have to have it all figured out. You just have to be willing to start with what's true. And from that one honest breath — Lord, here's where I really am — wisdom begins to build. So today, I'm not asking you to confess anything to anyone. I'm not asking you to post it, share it, or turn it into a testimony. I'm asking you to be still long enough to hear your own voice — the real one — and then let God meet you there. Tell Him the thing you've been editing. Pray the prayer you've been too afraid to say. Write the sentence in your journal that starts with "The truth is…" and then let your pen keep moving. You are not too much for Him. Your honesty will not break His love. In fact, it's the very thing that opens the door for His love to reach the rooms you've been locking everyone out of — including yourself. Real change doesn't start with a new strategy. It doesn't start with a new habit tracker or a five-step plan. It starts the moment you stop pretending and start breathing. It starts with truth. And truth, sweet friend, is not the end of the story — it's the bravest, most beautiful beginning you'll ever choose. "Be present. Be incredible.

  9. 94199 Running On NoiseYou haven't even gotten out of bed yet, and already, the world is talking to you. Notifications are lighting up the nightstand. Headlines are waiting behind the lock screen. Opinions, arguments, comparisons are all lined up before your feet hit the floor. You're running on noise, and you don't even realize it. Yesterday, in Guard Your Heart, Guard Your Path, we talked about why guarding your heart matters — because everything you do flows from it. Today, I want us to go a step deeper. If your heart is the wellspring, then your mind is the gate. And every single day, that gate is being flooded. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com #MindsetMonday #CreateYourNow #PersonalDevelopment Here's the thing we don't often stop to think about: the noise of the world doesn't just pass through you. It moves in. It takes up space. It starts shaping your thoughts, your emotions, your responses — and it does it so quietly that you don't even notice until you're reacting to life out of anxiety instead of peace, out of comparison instead of calling. Proverbs 4:23 tells us, "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." But guarding your heart requires guarding what gets in. And in a culture that never stops broadcasting, that takes real intentionality. Think about your morning. Before you pray, before you open your Bible, before you sit with God for even one quiet minute — how many voices have already spoken? The news anchor. The social media algorithm. The group chat. The email from your boss. And here's what we don't always see: those first few minutes of scrolling aren't neutral. They're formational. When the first thing you do each morning is absorb the world's headlines, the world's outrage, the world's measuring stick — you are being quietly discipled by a voice that was never meant to lead you. This is just what happens when the first voice you hear every day isn't His. And it's not that any one of those things is bad. It's that the accumulation of it — the sheer volume and relentlessness of it — starts to drown out the still, small voice you were designed to live by. You're not choosing to let the noise rule your mind. You just never chose not to. That's what makes this so sneaky. We don't sit down and consciously decide, "I'm going to let the world set the tone for my thinking today." It just happens. It happens in the scroll before coffee. It happens in the podcast on the commute. It happens in the background noise we've stopped noticing because it's always there. And slowly, without permission, the noise begins to form us. But here's where it turns: you get to choose what forms you. You are not powerless. You are not stuck. You have the authority — and the invitation — to set a different rhythm. To decide that the first voice you hear will be the One who calls you beloved. To build a gate around your mind that doesn't slam shut on the world but opens first to God. The K.I.S.S. ~ Guard the gate! Put some conscious thought into it. Know what you are thinking and what you want to think about. Workbook to Guard the Gate: Download Here. So here's the question: What would change in your thinking if the first thing you gave your attention to every morning wasn't the noise — but the truth? 1. START your day in silence with God first. Before you pick up your phone tomorrow morning, spend five minutes in quiet. Let God's voice be the first one you hear. Not the headlines. Not the notifications. Not the group chat. Just Him. 2. IDENTIFY one source of noise this week. Maybe it's a social media feed, a show, a habit that consistently leaves you feeling less peaceful. You know the one. Set a boundary around it, even if it's temporary. You're not canceling it forever. You're just making room. 3. REPLACE that noise with one intentional input: Maybe a worship playlist, a scripture audio plan, or five minutes of quiet prayer during a time you'd normally scroll. Don't just remove the noise — fill the space with something that feeds your soul. Guarding the gate isn't about shutting the world out entirely. It's about choosing what gets the first word — and the last word — in your day. When you let God speak first, everything else falls into its proper place. The noise doesn't disappear, but it stops running the show and your day. You were never meant to be formed by the scroll. You were meant to be formed by the Spirit. So this week, take back the gate. One morning at a time. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"   🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

  10. 104198 Guard Your Heart, Guard Your PathThere is a quiet war happening in every life, and most of us barely notice it. It doesn't announce itself with sirens or alarms. It creeps in through the glow of a screen, the scroll of a feed, the weight of words we never asked to carry. And before we know it, we've wandered. Not dramatically. Not all at once. But step by slow step, we've drifted from the path God laid out for us — because somewhere along the way, we stopped guarding what matters most. If wisdom has taught us anything, it's this: guard your heart, guard your path. Solomon understood this. In Proverbs 4:23, he writes, "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." Above all else. Not "when it's convenient." Not "if you remember." Above. All. Else. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com #SweetSpirit #CreateYourNow #SoulfulSunday That language is urgent because the stakes are urgent. Everything we do — every decision, every reaction, every relationship, every step forward or backward — flows from the heart. It is the wellspring. It is the source. And if the source is polluted, the path will show it. Think about that for a moment. What flows from your heart right now? Is it peace or anxiety? Is it faith or fear? Is it clarity or confusion? The answer will likely tell you what you've been allowing in. Because the heart doesn't guard itself. It absorbs. It takes in whatever we give it — the voices, the images, the opinions, the noise — and it shapes our steps accordingly. We live in an age of unfiltered access. Technology has handed us the entire world in the palm of our hands, and with it has come an avalanche of distraction. News cycles designed to stir outrage. Social media platforms built to hook our attention and hold it hostage. Conversations that pull us into comparison, into self-doubt, into places God never intended for us to dwell. None of it is accidental. Every notification, every algorithm, every autoplay video is designed to capture your focus — and focus is a resource of the heart. Solomon goes on in Proverbs 4:25–27 to say, "Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways. Do not turn to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil." There's an intentionality in those words that we can't afford to miss. He's not describing a passive walk. He's describing a deliberate one. Eyes forward. Feet steady. No wandering. That kind of focus doesn't happen by accident. It happens by choice — daily, sometimes hourly, sometimes minute by minute. Guarding your heart means becoming a gatekeeper of your own life. It means asking, "Does this belong here?" before you let something in. That podcast you listen to on your morning commute — is it building your faith or eroding it? That group text, that conversation at the office, that late-night scroll through social media — is it drawing you closer to who God created you to be, or pulling you further from it? These aren't dramatic questions. They're practical ones. And wisdom lives in the practical. The Psalmist knew this, too. In Psalm 119:105, we read, "Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path." Notice the imagery. A lamp for my feet — not a floodlight for the entire highway. God's Word gives us just enough light for the next step. And that next step requires a heart that's clear enough to see it. When we flood our hearts with noise and distraction, we dim that lamp. We make it harder to hear the voice that actually matters. We trade the light of truth for the glow of a screen, and then we wonder why the path feels uncertain. The K.I.S.S. ~ Guard your heart, guard your path! But here's the beautiful part of all of this — guarding your heart isn't about building walls. It's about building wisdom. It's not about living in fear of the world. It's about living with such intention that the world doesn't get to dictate your direction. "When your heart is rooted in God's Word, when it's fed by truth and watered by prayer, it becomes steady ground. And from steady ground, you walk a steady path." ~ Kristianne Wargo At some point, our wisdom must meet our walk. It's not enough to know what's right. It's not enough to underline verses and nod along on Sunday morning. Wisdom asks us to live it. To put the phone down when it's stealing our peace. To step away from conversations that plant seeds of doubt. To turn off the noise long enough to hear God whisper, "This is the way — walk in it." That's where the guarding happens. Not in some grand, once-and-for-all decision, but in the small, daily choices that add up to a life of purpose. So today, take inventory. What have you been letting in? What voices are shaping the way you see yourself, your family, your future? And are those voices aligned with the One who created you for something beautiful? Because the path ahead of you is good. God has already laid it out. But to walk it well, you have to protect the place it all begins. Guard your heart, and you will guard your path. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness! — that's where wisdom meets the walk." ~ Kristianne Wargo And with God lighting the way, not a single step is wasted. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"   🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

  11. 114197 Remember When?Every love story has a moment tucked inside that changes everything. Maybe it was the way he looked at you from across the room. Maybe it was a conversation that went three hours longer than it should have because neither of you wanted it to end. Maybe it was nothing dramatic at all — just a quiet knowing that settled into your bones and whispered, this one. Whatever your moment was, it marked the beginning of something God had been writing long before you ever knew his name. Remember when? Because the best way to move your marriage forward is going back to the beginning. Now, I know what you might be thinking. Kristianne, we are not the same people we were back then. And you are right. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com #RelationshipBuilders #CreateYourNow #LoveAndMarriage Life has done what life does. It has layered on responsibilities and routines, sleepless seasons and silent frustrations, moments of deep joy and stretches of deep exhaustion. The couple who once stayed up until two in the morning talking about everything and nothing now falls asleep mid-sentence on the couch by nine. And that is okay. Growth looks different than it feels. Going back to the beginning isn't about pretending those layers don't exist. It is about remembering what is underneath all of them. Because underneath the bills, the carpools, the calendar that never seems to have enough room — there is a foundation. And that foundation was not built by accident. It was built by God. Jeremiah 29:11 tells us, "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." It's easy to think that verse is just about your individual life and what you are going to be when you grow up. But we forget that it's about your whole life, which makes it about your marriage too. God had a plan when He brought the two of you together. He saw the beginning, and He already knew every chapter that would follow. When you go back to the start of your story, you are not escaping the present. You are reconnecting with the purpose that has been holding you together all along. Think about it this way. When a tree is struggling — when its leaves are dry and its branches look tired — a gardener does not just look at the surface. She checks the roots. She makes sure the foundation is still being nourished, still being watered, still connected to what gives it life. Your marriage is the same. The fruit you see on the outside — the way you communicate, the way you serve each other, the way you show up day after day — all of it is connected to the roots. And your roots live in the beginning. Song of Solomon 2:10–13 paints a picture so vivid you can almost feel the warmth on your skin: "My beloved spoke and said to me, 'Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, come with me. See! The winter is past; the rains are over and gone.'" Do you feel that? There is an invitation in those words. An invitation to come out of whatever cold season you have been standing in and step back into the warmth of what love was always meant to be. Not a love that ignores the hard things. A love that remembers it was built to outlast them. Maybe your beginning was full of butterflies and big romantic gestures. Or maybe it was quieter than that — a steady friendship that slowly turned into something you could not walk away from. Either way, there was something real there. Something true. And the beautiful thing about truth is that it does not expire. It does not lose its power just because time has passed. It simply waits for you to come back and draw from it again. Thomas Merton once wrote, "The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves." When you first fell in love with your husband, you were not trying to change him. You were captivated by who he already was — the way he laughed, the things he cared about, the way he made you feel seen. Somewhere along the way, it is easy to trade that captivation for correction. To start seeing what needs fixing instead of what first made your heart skip. Going back to the beginning is an invitation to see him again — really see him — the way you did before the world got loud. The K.I.S.S. ~ Revisit your roots! So here is the question I want to sit with you today. What if the key to falling in love all over again is not learning something new — but remembering something you already knew? 1. Pull out a photo or memento from your early days together. Open up that wedding album that has been sitting on the shelf untouched since your last anniversary. Dig out the box of old letters, ticket stubs, or that silly souvenir from the trip where everything went wrong and you laughed until you cried anyway. Find something tangible — something you can hold in your hands — and spend ten minutes looking at it together this week. You do not have to plan a deep conversation around it. Just sit next to each other and let the memories do the talking. You might be surprised how quickly a faded photograph can make the present feel a little brighter. One couple I know found their old wedding guest book in the back of a closet and spent an entire evening reading the messages people had written to them. By the time they closed it, she said it felt like their vows had been renewed without either of them saying a word. 2. Ask your spouse one simple question — "What is your favorite memory of us?" This one requires something that does not always come naturally in a long marriage — genuine curiosity. Do not assume you know the answer. Do not fill in the blanks for him. Just ask, and then do the most loving thing you can do in that moment — listen. Listen without planning your response. Listen without correcting the details. Listen the way you used to listen when everything he said mattered to you because you were still learning who he was. Here is the truth — you are still learning who he is. People are not static. The memory he holds dearest might not be the one you expect. Maybe it is not the grand vacation or the wedding day. Maybe it is a Tuesday night when you brought him coffee without being asked, or the way you held his hand in the hospital waiting room and did not let go. When you hear what he treasures, you learn what love looks like through his eyes. And that changes everything. 3. Recreate one small thing from your dating season. This is not about booking a five-star dinner or planning an elaborate date night — although if that is your thing, go for it. This is about intention. Think about the little things that made your early days feel alive. Was there a restaurant where you always split the same meal? A song that played every time you were together? A drive you used to take just because being in the car together felt like enough? Pick one of those things and do it again. If that restaurant closed years ago, find a similar one and order something that reminds you of what you used to share. If the song is buried somewhere in a playlist you forgot existed, pull it up and play it in the kitchen while you make dinner. It does not have to be perfect. It just has to be purposeful. One woman told me she and her husband used to get gas station coffee and drive the back roads on Sunday mornings when they were dating. They had not done it in over a decade. So one Sunday she woke up early, filled two styrofoam cups, and told him to get in the car. She said he smiled in a way she had not seen in years. That is what revisiting your roots looks like — small, deliberate, and full of love. One thing you must understand: the enemy of a good marriage is not conflict. It is not even distance. It is forgetfulness. When we forget where love began, we start to believe it has nowhere left to go. But when we remember — when we go back to the well of what God started and draw from it again — something shifts. We stop measuring our marriage by what it lacks and start marveling at what it has survived. Your love story is still being written, friend. Every single day. And the Author who began it is faithful to continue it. So this week, take a step back — not away from your marriage, but into its beginning. Let yourself remember. Let yourself feel. And let God remind you that what He started in love, He has every intention of finishing in love. "Be present. Be incredible.

  12. 124196 The Unseen HoursEvery mother knows the invisible rhythms. The whispered prayers over sleeping children. The mental checklist that never stops running — appointments, groceries, emotions, permission slips, and that look on your kid's face at dinner that told you something was wrong even though they said they were fine. You caught it. You always catch it. And later, after the house goes still, you lie awake turning it over, figuring out how to help, how to hold it, how to fix what you can and surrender what you cannot; oh, the unseen hours. That's not small work. That is love in its most relentless, most faithful form. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com #ConfessionsOfAnUpsetMama #CreateYourNow #TodaysParent But here's the quiet ache so many mamas carry and never say out loud — when no one sees what you do, it starts to feel like it doesn't matter. And when what you do doesn't seem to matter, you start to wonder if you do. That's the lie. And we need to call it what it is. Your worth was never tied to someone else's awareness of your effort. Colossians 3:23–24 says, "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward." Your audience was never your family's attention — it was always God's heart. He sees every unseen hour. Every quiet sacrifice. Every moment you chose love when you were running on empty. And He calls it good. That doesn't mean you shouldn't be seen. It doesn't mean you should keep swallowing the exhaustion and smiling through it. "The lack of recognition doesn't reduce the value of what you've done." ~ Kristianne Wargo The world may not hand you a trophy for keeping your household running, for holding your child's heart with care, for showing up again when you had nothing left. But heaven keeps a different record. Galatians 6:9 reminds us, "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." Your harvest is coming. Not because you earned it by burning yourself down, but because faithfulness has a return — and God doesn't miss a single seed you've planted. But let me be honest with you about something. This series isn't here to glorify the grind. It's not here to say, "Keep pouring until there's nothing left and call it love." No. Love was never meant to cost you yourself. You are more than what you produce. You are more than the lunches and the carpools and the bedtime routines and the late-night text messages. Those things matter because you matter — not the other way around. And you must remember, your children are watching. Not just what you do for them, but how you treat yourself while doing it. They are learning what a woman looks like when she's whole — or when she's disappearing. You get to choose which lesson they carry. Give yourself a gift; honor the unseen. The K.I.S.S. ~ Honor the unseen! And that goes for everything you whisper under your breath, "If you only knew." You matter and the work you do matters. So here's the question — what would it look like to honor the unseen, starting with how you see yourself? 1. Name it. Write down three things you did this week that no one noticed or thanked you for. Look at that list. That's love in action — and it deserves to be seen, even if only by you. 2. Release the scorecard. Stop measuring your worth by whether someone acknowledged what you did. Your labor is not less because it was quiet. Let go of needing the thank-you to feel valuable. 3. Speak over yourself. Before bed tonight, say this out loud: "What I carry matters. What I do matters. And I matter — not because of what I produce, but because of who I am." Mama, the hours are long. There are days when you feel like you're invisible in your own home, running on fumes and faith and not much else. But you are not invisible. Not to God. And not to the woman looking back at you in the mirror who deserves to be told, "You're doing a really beautiful thing." The unseen hours don't make you less. They reveal how deeply you love. And that love is building something you can't even see yet. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"   🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?
