  • You Were Built For This: Stop Second-Guessing Your Call.

    “You Were Built for This.”

    Have you ever had a moment where you paused, looked at your life, the calling, the weight, the responsibility, and thought, “God… are You sure about me?”

    I have.
    And lately, God has been answering back in a way that shakes every ounce of fear and doubt in me.

    “Stay Aligned. Stay Surrendered. Stay Available.”

    That’s what I’ve been sensing in my spirit in this season.

    There’s a divine weight attached to every calling, especially when it’s meant to impact others. The temptation is there to rush, perform, compare, or even shrink. But God is NOT calling us to keep up with the world, He’s calling us to walk closely with Him.

    He’s saying:
    “You’re not here to impress. You’re here to impact. And that impact flows from intimacy with Me.”

    He’s teaching me to embrace pace. To honour the quiet seasons. To trust that even when it seems like nothing is happening outwardly, He’s doing deep work within.

    Because it’s in those hidden places where mantles are prepared. Not for applause. But for assignment.

    “Stop Second-Guessing Yourself.”

    These are the very words God spoke to a dear sister in Christ, and I believe they echo across the hearts of many of us who have ever doubted our ability to carry what God has placed on us.

    She shared these words so powerfully:

    “I have given you power to handle the mantle I’ve placed on your life. The mantle to impact this generation. It may feel heavy, but I’ve placed in you great strength and ability. So stop second-guessing yourself.”

    And I feel that deeply.
    It’s easy to believe that calling should feel light, or that anointed people never wrestle with inadequacy. But the truth is: weight is confirmation. And grace is what makes it bearable.

    You don’t need to feel “enough.” You need to remember Who called you.

    Built for the Weight. Chosen for the Work.

    God doesn’t make mistakes. If He gave you the mantle, He also gave you the muscles.
    The capacity.
    The anointing.
    The endurance.

    And when it gets heavy? That’s not your sign to quit.
    That’s your invitation to deepen your dependence.

    He’s not asking for perfection. He’s asking for availability.

    “Don’t settle for inspiration when I’ve called you to transformation.”

    Let those words marinate. God doesn’t just want you to feel stirred, He wants you to walk changed. Transformed. Empowered. Bold.

    A Word for the One Who’s Wrestling

    If you’ve been wondering if you’re really capable…
    If you’ve questioned whether God could really use you…
    If you’ve been shrinking, second-guessing, hesitating…

    Here’s the truth:

    You were built for this.
    You’re not under qualified, you’re chosen.
    You’re not too late, you’re right on time.
    You’re not too much, you’re just enough in His hands.

    So rise.
    Speak.
    Write.
    Build.
    Lead.
    Impact.

    Stop second-guessing. Start trusting. God already knows the outcome — He’s just asking for your yes.

    Write this in your journal:
    “Lord, help me to stop second-guessing myself. Remind me daily that I was built for this calling. I trust You, even when I feel the weight. Use me for Your glory.”

  • Your Past Has Expired — You’ve Outgrown That Room

    There are moments in life when God lets us revisit the past, not to stay there, but to realize just how far we’ve come.

    Sometimes it happens in a conversation, a memory, or even a dream. Suddenly you’re back in an old environment. Maybe a room you used to sit in. A crowd you used to blend into. A system you once believed in. But this time, something feels… different.

    • You don’t quite fit anymore.
    • You don’t recognize the people.
    • You feel out of place — like a visitor in your own history.

    And that’s when God whispers:
    “This is not your room anymore. You’ve outgrown this place.”

    Old Rooms, New Revelations

    It’s wild how we can cling to old titles, old beliefs, old labels, simply because they feel familiar. But God is not in the business of keeping you in comfort zones. He’s in the business of transformation.

    You may have once needed that place. It may have even helped shape your foundation. But growth requires movement. And God loves you too much to let you shrink yourself just to keep others comfortable.

    “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!”
    – Isaiah 43:18–19 (NKJV)

    Letting Go Doesn’t Mean Disrespect

    Walking away from an old room doesn’t mean dishonor. It means obedience.

    You can love people and still leave places that no longer align with who God is calling you to be. You can honor your roots and still pursue your rise. Some rooms served a purpose for a season, but the season has changed — and so have you.

    A Prayer for When You Feel the Tug

    Lord, give me the courage to walk away from the past without guilt.
    Show me where You are now.
    Help me not to grieve expired places, but to step boldly into the “new thing” You are doing in my life.
    Remind me that growth is not betrayal, it’s obedience.
    In Jesus’ name, Amen.

    Final Thought

    If you’ve been feeling stuck between who you were and who you’re becoming, this is your confirmation: It’s okay to move forward. You don’t belong in that old room anymore. Not because you’re better, but because you’re becoming.

    And trust me, what God has prepared for you ahead is far greater than what you’re leaving behind.

  • Inviting God Into Your Week

    Hello, lovely readers, today’s post is a short one!
    As the new week begins, I want to gently remind you of something that’s been changing my life lately: it’s okay to let go.
    It’s okay not to have it all figured out.
    It’s okay to release the to-do lists, the pressure, the silent fears.
    The most powerful way we can begin our week is not with hustle, but with surrender.

    Before work, before the unexpected surprises of the day, take a breath and whisper this:
    “Lord, I surrender this week to You. Have Your way.”

    The truth is, when we put our week in God’s hands, He puts peace in our hearts.

    Here’s a prayer to start your week:

    Dear Lord, I give You this new week. Go before me. Guide every step. Help me walk in peace, purpose, and alignment with You. I surrender every plan, every fear, and every expectation. Let Your will be done. In Jesus’ name, amen.

    Scripture to hold onto:

    “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” – Proverbs 3:5–6 (NKJV)

    With love

  • The Scripture That Anchors My Soul: Jeremiah 29:11

    Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV): ‘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.’

    I hope everyone has had a wonderful week so far. I’d like to end the weekday with one scripture that has carried me through every season of my life. Jeremiah 29:11.

    This verse has become more than just words on a page. It’s a divine lifeline. A whispered promise from God in moments when life feels heavy, uncertain, or painfully quiet.

    When Life Gets Tough, I Return to the Promise

    When I don’t know whether God is with me, I go back to this scripture.
    When I’m unsure of what lies ahead, I go back.
    When doubts cloud my mind, when fear creeps in, when life hits hard, I go back.

    I go back when I’m drowning in tears.
    I go back when God feels silent.
    I go back when I’m overwhelmed and on the edge of giving up.

    This verse reminds me that God is in the detail.

    Every twist, every delay, every disappointment. It’s part of a divine orchestration. A holy roadmap drawn by a loving Father who promises that “the end will be beautiful.”

    His Plans Are Good, So I Will Succeed

    This verse is my anchor. It affirms that God’s intentions for me are not to harm me but to prosper me. Not to destroy me, but to restore me. Not to shame me, but to strengthen me.

    Even when I cannot see the outcome, I’ve learned to trust the Author. If His plans for me are good, then I can boldly believe that only good will come my way.

    This doesn’t mean life will be perfect. But it means that even the imperfections will lead to something perfect in His time.

    I’ve learned to respect the process, because I trust the Planner. And that gives me comfort, even in sorrow.

    When You Feel Like Giving Up…

    Maybe today you’re in a tough season. Maybe you feel forgotten. Maybe you’re staring down a path that feels like it leads nowhere.
    Let Jeremiah 29:11 comfort you.

    Be reminded:
    🌿 God is not finished with you.
    🌿 The story doesn’t end in this valley.
    🌿 Your future is still full of hope.
    🌿 There is beauty coming, even from this.

    The Bible also says, “He has made everything beautiful in its time.” (Ecclesiastes 3:11). The timing might not always feel good, but the outcome always will be.

    A Prayer for You

    Heavenly Father,
    Thank You for being a God of good plans. When the road is rough and uncertain, help us return to Your promises. Remind us that we are not forgotten. Strengthen us when we feel weak, and carry us when we feel tired. Let Your word in Jeremiah 29:11 be a lamp to our feet and a comfort to our soul.
    We trust You with our lives, our future, and every season in between.
    In Jesus’ name, Amen.

  • Faith-Filled Motherhood: Raising Children in Christ

    Motherhood is beautiful, but let’s be honest, it’s also messy, loud, unpredictable, and deeply humbling. Some days I feel like I’ve got it together; other days, I’m praying through tears while holding a baby in one hand, calming a screaming toddler, and stirring dinner with the other hand.

    But in every season, one thing remains constant: I am raising children who belong to God. And that is no small calling.

    —

    ✝️ Why Faith-Filled Motherhood Matters

    As Christian mothers, we’re not just raising children, we’re raising disciples. Our homes are the first church our children will experience. And in today’s world, where values are constantly shifting and godly truth is often challenged, raising children in Christ is more crucial than ever.

    I often remind myself: “They don’t just need a good life. They need a godly life.”

    That means prayer isn’t just something we do before bed. It’s woven into our day, when they’re scared, when they’re sick, when they’re sad, and even when they’re just trying to find their shoes in the morning!

    —

    👶🏽From Diapers to Devotionals

    With four children, two under the age of two, my house is anything but quiet. And yet, God shows me daily that these are holy moments. Changing nappies and wiping noses may not seem spiritual, but when done in love and surrender, they are acts of worship.

    In our home, faith isn’t a “Sunday thing.” It’s our lifestyle. We:

    💛Speak blessings over our children every morning.

    💛Play worship music in the background during our daily routines.

    💛Read a short Bible story together just before bedtime (even if we have to pause to change a diaper mid-way!)

    It’s not perfect, and we miss days. But the goal is not perfection, it’s consistency.

    📚Teaching Them the Word, Living Them the Word

    I’ve learned to integrate faith into every subject I do with my kids at home. When we do science, we marvel at God’s creation. Even in maths, we talk about the God of order and design.

    But beyond the lessons, what speaks the loudest is how we live.

    Do they see me forgive quickly?

    Do they hear me speak kindly about others?

    Do they notice how I respond when things don’t go my way?

    These are the real lessons they’ll carry into adulthood.

    💡Tips for Other Faith-Filled Mamas

    1. Don’t wait for the “right time.” Start small. A verse a day. A prayer before school. A worship song in the car.

    2. Let them see your faith in action. Pray openly. Repent openly. Celebrate answered prayers together.

    3. Use every moment as a teaching moment. Tantrums, tears, and triumphs all have spiritual lessons tucked inside.

    4. Pray for them AND with them. Your intercession is powerful, but modeling prayer is what teaches them to do it themselves.

    5. Give yourself grace. Some days will be chaotic. That’s okay. God works through the messy too.

    💖My Prayer as a Mother

    “Lord, help me not just raise good children but godly children. May they know You, love You, and walk with You all the days of their lives. Even in my weakness, may Your strength be made perfect in my motherhood.”

    —
    Motherhood is one of my ministries, my mission field, and one of the greatest honours of my life. If you’re reading this and feel weary, just know: God sees you, Mama. And He’s with you, every step of the way.

    Let’s raise warriors for Christ one nappy, one prayer, one bedtime Bible story at a time.

  • Overcoming Fear and Anxiety Through Scripture

    Have You Ever Felt So Anxious That It Was Hard to Even Breathe Properly?

    I have. Many times, in fact.

    There have been nights when I’ve laid awake staring at the ceiling, heart pounding, thoughts racing like a train I couldn’t stop. Fear gripped me—fear of the unknown, fear of not being enough, fear of what tomorrow might hold.

    I’ve had moments where anxiety whispered lies into my ears, convincing me that things would never get better. That I wasn’t strong enough. That I was alone.

    But let me tell you something that has changed everything for me: the Word of God.

    —

    My Personal Journey with Fear

    There was a particular season when everything around me felt uncertain. I had just become a mother again, and I was battling exhaustion, health worries, marital problems and the overwhelming pressure of managing my home, dreams, and responsibilities.

    One evening, I remember walking into the bathroom, locking the door behind me, sitting on the edge of the tub, and just weeping. Not soft tears—but deep, guttural sobs.

    I cried out, “God, I’m scared. What if I fail? What if I let everyone down?”

    And in that moment, the Holy Spirit gently reminded me of a scripture I had read countless times:

    > “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” — 2 Timothy 1:7

    This verse transformed my subconscious and saved my life.

    God was saying, “This fear? It’s not from Me. I have given you power. I have given you peace.”

    —

    Scriptures That Have Anchored Me

    I want to share a few verses that helped me break free from fear’s grip and step into God’s peace.

    1. Isaiah 41:10

    > “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you…”

    This verse reminded me that I am never alone. Even when life feels overwhelming, God is right beside me, strengthening me moment by moment.

    —

    2. Philippians 4:6-7

    > “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God…”

    This scripture became my daily weapon. Instead of panicking, I began praying. I poured out my worries in prayer, and little by little, God replaced them with His peace.

    —

    3. Psalm 34:4

    > “I sought the Lord, and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears.”

    That was me. I sought Him—and He answered. My fears didn’t always disappear overnight, but their power over me was broken.

    —

    How I Fight Fear Today

    Fear still tries to creep in. I still face moments of uncertainty. But now I respond differently:

    I speak scripture out loud over myself and my home.

    I worship, even when I don’t feel like it.

    I pray honestly—as if God is sitting right next to me (because He is).

    I remind myself of His faithfulness in the past.

    Every time fear rises, I raise my faith higher.

    —

    If You’re Struggling Today…

    I want you to know: you’re not alone.

    God sees you. He hears even your silent tears. And He is bigger than whatever you’re facing right now.

    Start small. Choose one scripture. Write it down. Speak it over yourself every day. Let the Word of God drown out the voice of anxiety.

    God’s Word isn’t just beautiful—it’s powerful.

    —

    A Prayer for You

    Heavenly Father,
    I lift up every person reading this who is battling fear or anxiety. Let Your peace wash over them right now. Silence every lie of the enemy and replace it with Your truth. Remind them that they are not alone. That You are with them. That You are for them. Fill their hearts with courage, and their minds with calm. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

  • Why It Matters: Being Involved in Your Child’s Education

    Hey lovely readers,

    On Wednesday, we touched on Parenting in the 21st Century and today I want to share something that’s very close to my heart—being actively involved in our children’s education. Not just financially, but physically, emotionally, and culturally. I truly believe it’s one of the greatest investments we can make as parents.

    Our children may go to school, and yes, their teachers do a brilliant job. But the truth is, education doesn’t start and stop at the school gates. What we do at home matters—sometimes even more than what happens in the classroom.

    For me, I’ve tried my best to be as hands-on as I possibly can because let’s be honest – private tuition costs a fortune! So we’ve created our own weekly learning schedule at home. And trust me, it’s been one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done- for my pockets too! 😂.

    Let me give you a peek into our routine after school.

    💫 On Mondays, we do English lessons. I sit down with them and we work on things like comprehension, creative writing, spelling, and dictation. Right now, we’re in the middle of learning how to write our own stories—starting from choosing a theme, developing a main character, building a plot, and understanding how a story flows all the way to the idea of publishing it. It’s amazing seeing how their little minds work, and how proud they feel when they bring their own ideas to life.

    💫 On Wednesdays, we dive into cultural studies. As someone from Ghana, it’s so important to me that my children know where they come from. So we talk about our heritage, traditions, history, and values. I also teach them our local language—Asante Twi—because I don’t want them to lose their connection to their roots. It’s more than just language; it’s an identity.

    💫 Thursdays are for Maths and Science—30 minutes each, just to polish up what they’re learning at school and help with any tricky topics they might be struggling with.

    💫 Fridays are all about PSHE (that’s personal, social, health, and economic education) and Home Economics. Sometimes we cook together. Other times, it’s gardening, learning to clean and organise the house, or managing basic finances. I want them to grow up with not just academic knowledge, but life skills too.

    💫Saturdays are reserved for family outings and extra curriculum activities.

    💫Sundays, we slow things down and focus on church and Family Bible study. We read the Word together, discuss it, ask questions, and reflect. It’s our way of grounding the week spiritually and reminding ourselves of what truly matters.

    And for the areas I can’t personally teach, I’m not afraid to invest. On Tuesdays, We pay for Mandarin lessons (£5 an hour) and Piano classes (£15 an hour) for my oldest daughter, and coding classes for my eldest son (£12 per hour). Altogether, we spend £32 a week, which is £128 a month—and honestly, I consider that an excellent investment in their future.

    Now I know this might sound like a lot, and not every family will follow this exact setup. That’s okay. But the heart of what I’m sharing is this: our children thrive when they know we’re interested, present, and invested in their growth. Not just academically—but personally, culturally, and spiritually.

    Now, if you’re thinking, “But I’m not a teacher—I wouldn’t even know where to start,” let me just say this: you’re not alone. Honestly, there are times I don’t feel confident enough to plan everything myself either—especially when it comes to English, Maths, and Science. That’s why I often turn to free online resources to help guide the lessons I do at home with my children. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel—there are incredible tools out there, and I use them too!

    Next week, I’ll dive deeper into a few of my favourites and how you can use them to support your child’s learning journey from home. But just to give you a head start, here are some of the ones I love:

    🌟Khan Academy

    🌟Oak National Academy

    🌟BBC Bitesize

    🌟Math Playground

    🌟British Council – LearnEnglish Kids

    🌟Fun English Games

    🌟Science Journal for Kids

    These are all FREE, easy to use, and full of engaging content your children will actually enjoy and also follows their school curriculum.

    You don’t have to be perfect or have a teacher’s degree. Just showing up and trying your best counts.

    Let’s raise children who know their worth, understand their roots, and feel deeply supported—both in and out of the classroom.

    💬Let me know in the comments section what you’re all doing at home with your little ones—whether it’s reading, cooking, learning new languages, or just figuring it out as you go. We’re all learning from each other, and I’d love to hear your ideas. 💛

    With love and intention,

  • Parenting in the 21st Century.

    Parenting in the 21st Century: Wisdom for Raising Strong, Healthy Kids

    Parenting has never been simple—but parenting in the 21st century brings an entirely new set of challenges. From managing screen time to navigating social media, from rising mental health issues to shifting cultural values, today’s parents are under immense pressure to raise well-rounded, emotionally healthy, and morally grounded children.

    Whether you’re a person of faith or simply someone who wants to raise kind, responsible humans, there’s one truth we can all agree on: parenting is more than a job—it’s a calling. And while the world is constantly changing, some principles remain timeless.

    1. Build a Strong Foundation of Values

    Every family needs a moral compass. What do you want your children to believe about honesty, kindness, hard work, and responsibility? Whether you draw those values from your faith, your culture, or life experience, be intentional about shaping them early.

    Children thrive when they know where their family stands and what’s expected of them—not through harsh rules, but through consistent, clear guidance. Modeling integrity, respect, and compassion in your own life is one of the most powerful teaching tools you have.

    2. Be Present in an Age of Distraction

    We live in a distracted world. Between jobs, phones, and the daily chaos of life, quality time with our kids can easily fall to the bottom of the list. But being physically present is not the same as being emotionally available.

    Make time to slow down and truly connect. Sit down for dinner without screens. Ask them open-ended questions. Laugh together. More importantly, create a safe space for your child to express their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. When they know they’re heard, they become more open and secure.

    3. Invest in Their Education and Natural Gifts

    Every child is unique—created with their own strengths, talents, and learning styles. Part of our role as parents is to help them discover those gifts and provide opportunities for growth.

    Support their education, not just in academics but also in life skills, emotional intelligence, and creativity. Encourage hobbies. Celebrate their efforts. Whether it’s a love for music, sports, science, or storytelling—nurture what makes them come alive.

    Success isn’t one-size-fits-all. Helping your child discover their path is one of the greatest investments you can make.

    4. Lead with Both Boundaries and Grace

    Children need boundaries to feel safe, but they also need grace to grow. It’s easy to fall into the trap of being too strict or too lenient—but the healthiest families find a balance.

    Set limits and follow through with love, not anger. Let them make mistakes, and use those moments to teach, not to shame. When kids know that home is a place where they can fail and still be loved, they build resilience, confidence, and trust.

    5. Prepare Them, Don’t Just Protect Them

    The world can be a difficult place, but sheltering children from every challenge isn’t the answer. Instead, help them build the tools they’ll need to face life with courage and clarity.

    Teach them how to think critically, manage emotions, make wise choices, and stand up for themselves and others. Talk about real issues—even the uncomfortable ones—so they’re not learning everything from the internet or their peers. Equip them to live with compassion, confidence, and conviction.

    6. Pray Without Stopping

    Ultimately, parenting is a spiritual battle. We cannot parent well in our own strength. Philippians 4:6 reminds us, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.”

    Pray for wisdom. Pray for your children’s hearts. Pray for protection, guidance, and godly influences. And let your children see you praying—not just for them, but with them.

    7. Stay Humble, Keep learning

    There’s no such thing as a perfect parent—and that’s okay. The best parenting is done by those who are willing to keep learning, stay humble, and admit when they get it wrong.

    Be willing to apologize. Ask for help. Learn from others. Parenting is a journey, not a formula. And each child will require something a little different from you.

    Raising Grounded Kids in an Uncertain World

    In a fast-paced, high-pressure world, what your children need most is you—your presence, your love, your guidance, and your example. The values you instill today will shape how they face tomorrow.

    Whether your foundation is built on faith, family tradition, or personal principles, the most impactful parenting is rooted in love, consistency, and intentionality.

    In addition, as Christian parents, we are not called to be perfect—but to be faithful. We plant seeds, water them with love and truth, and trust God to bring the growth.

    Parenting in the 21st century isn’t easy—but it’s also full of opportunity. You don’t have to have all the answers. You just need to show up, stay engaged, and keep walking with your child as they grow into the person they’re meant to be.

    So take heart. God sees you. He walks with you. And He equips you to raise children who will shine like lights in a dark world (Philippians 2:15). Let’s parent with purpose, rooted in the Word, led by the Spirit, and driven by the hope we have in Christ.

    Standing with you, one day at a time,

    Harmonie 💚
