So how do you make it through the tough parts when everything feels overwhelming?

How do you survive the chaos long enough to soak in the blessings that come with parenting?

Maybe it comes to survive is to soak.

The K.I.S.S. ~ To survive is to soak!

How many times have you actually thought about getting through your day as a parent and the blessings you’ve seen for just a moment with your children?

Not many of us do that. We are too busy, too frazzled, too tired. Enough is enough, because in our reality, we are not enough.

But my friend, that’s not the truth. So it’s time to get louder with the truth.

Here are three hard truths every parent needs to own to understand the crucial role you play in your child’s life:

1. Your Best Is More Than Enough
   You will have days when you feel you’re failing. When the exhaustion wants to win, and shortcuts seem tempting. But showing up in love, even imperfectly, shapes your child’s world in ways you can’t see yet. Your effort is not invisible. Remember, consistency beats perfection every time.
2. Your Voice Shapes Their Identity
   Every word you speak echoes inside your child’s mind. Encouragement builds confidence; criticism chips away at it. When life throws curveballs, get louder with the truth that uplifts—remind them they are worthy, capable, and deeply loved, no matter what.
3. Faith and Strength Aren’t Optional
   Parenting demands courage—courage to face tough conversations, to set boundaries, and to keep going even when hope feels scarce. Prayer (or your chosen form of grounding) can anchor you. Complaining won’t move you forward, but a relentless belief in your purpose will carry you through the darkest storms.

So, Mom and Dad, when you feel drained, don’t quit. Don’t settle for the easy way out. Keep pushing with the love that only you can give. Be fierce. Be brave. Lean on your faith when the weight feels too heavy.

The truth is loud, bold, and unshakable. Make it your anthem. Because your child needs to hear it—over the noise, beyond the doubts, straight from your heart.

God’s got you. Now go get louder with your truth.

Get Louder with the Truth
by Kristianne Wargo

When midnight whispers doubt and fear,
And silence seems the safest cheer,
Remember this: your voice must rise—
A beacon burning through the skies.

The days are long, the path unclear,
Yet love is louder than the tear.
No tired heart goes unheard or lost,
Each sacrifice outweighs the cost.

Speak truth in storms, in moments bleak,
A stronger voice your child will seek.
Your courage is their anchor deep,
The promise held when nights won’t sleep.

So stand again, though worn and torn,
Your love’s a light that will not mourn.
Pray loud, stand firm, when hope feels thin—
You’re fighting battles born within.

In every word, in every deed,
You plant the seeds your children need.
Get louder with that truth today—
And lead their hearts along the way.

“Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!“
