  • My Life in an Alternate Universe. The Quiet Power of “What If”

    “In another universe, I harvest instead of hustle, but even there, I STILL need God.”

    -E. H Abraham

    In an alternate universe, I wake up every morning to the sound of waves crashing against the cliffs outside my seaside cottage in Cape Town. The sun peeks through sheer white curtains as I stretch, barefoot, into a day that holds no chaos, no deadlines, only purpose and peace.

    In this universe, I’m not juggling a dozen roles. I’m not questioning if I’m doing enough or if I’m too much. Here, I am whole. I run a small wellness and writing retreat for women where every guest is reminded that healing is not a luxury, but a necessity.

    Instead of racing to meet the expectations of the world, I spend my mornings teaching journaling workshops under the olive trees and my afternoons sipping tea with women who have forgotten how to dream. Together, we write ourselves back to life.

    There is no pressure to perform, only permission to be.

    In this universe, I never doubted my voice. I never silenced my story. I published my first book at 19, not 39. I spoke on stages, not from a place of ambition, but from a place of sacred assignment.

    My children run barefoot in the garden, fluent in three languages, and utterly free. My partner is a man of prayer and poetry, a quiet storm who believes in miracles as much as I do.

    We are not rich, not by the world’s standards, but we live abundantly. There is music, there is laughter, there is deep rest. There is rhythm.

    I don’t hustle. I harvest.

    But even in this perfect parallel, I carry one thing from the world I came from, my faith. In every universe, I would still need God. I would still crave His whispers in the stillness. I would still fall apart and find Him in the pieces.

    Because maybe the beauty of this alternate world isn’t that it’s perfect, but that it reminds me what’s possible. What’s already inside me. What I can slowly build in this life, one sacred yes at a time.

    And you?

    What would your alternate universe look like?
    Would you change the world, or just finally change yours?

    Let yourself imagine. And then, perhaps, let yourself begin.

  • Overcoming waves with resilience and grace.

    Are you navigating life’s unpredictable waves, seeking solace and strength? 🌊 Embracing God’s purpose can illuminate your path, bringing peace and guiding you daily. Trusting in God and nurturing your faith isn’t merely about facing adversity, it’s about overcoming it with resilience and grace. This isn’t a solitary journey. It’s a commitment to inner growth, a voyage towards lasting peace. Together, let’s explore how spiritual guidance can empower you to handle life’s hurdles with renewed faith and calm confidence. Need a little boost? 🌟 Check out these 5 scriptures to nurture your spiritual mindset.

    Embrace the Purpose 💫

    Understanding and embracing God’s purpose for your life is transformative. It’s your rock-solid foundation for tackling those inevitable challenges. Let’s dive into how aligning with God’s plan fortifies your faith and perseverance.

    Trust the Divine Blueprint

    Trust in God’s divine plan. It’s crucial for your spiritual growth. It means surrendering your desires and embracing the understanding that God’s wisdom surpasses our own. Trust opens you to divine guidance and protection, enabling you to face uncertainties with a heart full of confidence. He’s working for your ultimate good, always! 💪

    Sustaining this trust requires regular prayer and reflection. By consistently connecting with God, you’ll discover clarity and peace in His promises.

    Faith and Perseverance: Your Dynamic Duo

    Faith and perseverance are your steadfast companions on this journey. They help you remain committed to God’s purpose, even when life presents challenges. Faith empowers you with the strength to believe in God’s promises, fueling your hope and motivation. Meanwhile, perseverance puts your faith into action, keeping you on course when trials arise. Cultivate both to maintain your spiritual focus. 💖

    Finding Calm in Chaos

    Life can become quite chaotic, yet you can find tranquility amidst the storm through faith and spiritual guidance. Let’s explore practical, faith-based ways to rise above adversity.

    Daily Spiritual Guidance 🕊️

    Spiritual guidance offers practical support for daily life challenges. It shapes your understanding and response to life’s difficulties from a faith-based perspective. Regular Bible study provides wisdom and comfort, while prayer is your direct line to God’s wisdom and strength.

    Connecting with a faith community can be an incredible source of spiritual support. Sharing experiences adds perspective and provides much-needed camaraderie. Additionally, mindfulness and meditation on God’s Word keep you anchored in faith, even in tough times.

    Overcoming Adversity with Faith

    When adversity strikes, view it as an opportunity for spiritual growth. Faith is your unwavering ally, providing hope and strength. It reassures you that you are never alone—God is right there, guiding you through every trial. 💪

    Perceive challenges as opportunities for growth and spiritual development, not insurmountable barriers. By leaning on faith during your toughest times, you’ll emerge stronger in your spiritual journey.

    Building Inner Strength

    Building inner strength helps you maintain your faith and peace through life’s ups and downs. Let’s discuss finding peace during tough times and empowering your personal growth.

    Finding Peace in Life’s Storms

    Life’s storms can be overwhelming, but peace can be found by consistently engaging in spiritual practices. Regular prayer allows you to cast worries onto God and receive His peace. Meditation on scripture soothes your anxious mind, offering stability in His word. Practicing gratitude shifts focus from problems to blessings, fostering peace and contentment.

    Empowering Personal Growth and Faith 🌱

    Personal growth and faith development reinforce each other, building inner strength. Regular Bible study deepens your understanding, acts of service put faith into action, and spiritual mentors or small groups offer critical guidance. Embrace life’s challenges as opportunities for growth and resilience, strengthening both your faith and character. 🏆

    Embark on this empowering journey, and let His purpose guide you boldly. 🚀

    With love and purpose,

  • When You Feel Stuck Mid-journey (Like That Escalator)

    When You Feel Stuck Mid-journey (Like That Escalator)

    “You’re not broken. You’re just being recalibrated by the One who never stops working behind the scenes.”

    -E. H Abraham

    I read a news story today that, honestly, most people would scroll right past.
    An escalator in a Nottingham shopping centre broke down and stopped mid-motion.

    No injuries. No drama. Just… stuck.
    People had to walk around it. Some huffed. Others shrugged.
    Maintenance was called. They fixed it. End of story.

    But for some reason, I couldn’t stop thinking about that escalator.

    Because I’ve felt like her.
    And maybe you have too.

    You were rising, in purpose, in motherhood, in calling, in business, in healing.
    You had momentum.
    But then, something shifted.

    You didn’t crash.
    You didn’t collapse.
    You just… stalled.

    And the world, much like that shopping centre, kept moving.
    People passed by. Life went on.
    But there you were, mid-step, mid-project, mid-promise, wondering, What happened to my flow?

    As women, especially women of faith, we carry so much.
    We climb with bags full of dreams, diapers, deadlines, devotionals, and silent prayers.
    So when we pause, when our rhythm breaks, we don’t always give ourselves permission to breathe.

    But God does.

    He doesn’t mock the pause.
    He enters it.

    Sometimes, He allows the “stuck” to become sacred.
    A moment to reset.
    To be reminded: You’re not broken. You’re being recalibrated.

    Even escalators need maintenance.
    And so do we, spiritually, emotionally, mentally, physically.

    If you feel like your life has paused mid-journey, hear this:
    God has not forgotten you.
    You are still called. Still chosen. Still rising.

    Let Him do the inner work. Let the Holy Spirit come in like divine maintenance.
    And when it’s time, you’ll move again, with fresh oil and restored strength.

    With love and grace

  • What change, big or small, would I want my blog to make in the world?

    Harmonie Abraham

    “You may carry many layers, but none of them are wasted. Every part of you is being woven into purpose. You are not too much. You are becoming everything God created you to be.”

    -E. H Abraham

    When I first sat down to create Harmonie Blogs, I didn’t just want to share thoughts. I wanted to create impact. Not the loud, world-shaking kind that makes headlines – although if that happens, praise God! But the quiet, consistent kind. The kind that changes one life, one woman, one heart at a time.

    This blog was birthed with a desire to be a voice of hope and light, especially for women navigating seasons of loneliness, confusion, burnout, or simply seeking deeper purpose. My hope is that every time a woman stumbles upon one of my posts, whether it’s about prayer, purpose, motherhood, dreams, or healing, she walks away feeling seen, stirred, and strengthened.

    Here’s the change I want to see through this blog:

    🌱 1. I want women to believe again.

    To believe in God’s plan.
    To believe that their story still matters.
    To believe that it’s not too late to start again.

    🔥 2. I want to fan the flame of forgotten dreams.

    So many women are silently carrying buried passions, suffocated by responsibilities and expectations. I want to stir the fire again. To whisper: “You were made for more, and it’s not too late.”

    🕊️ 3. I want to create a safe, faith-filled space.

    A space where tears are welcomed, laughter is healing, and God’s truth is gently spoken. A place where we can talk about real struggles, marriage, motherhood, identity, mental battles, without judgment or fear.

    💡 4. I want to shift mindsets from survival to significance.

    It’s not just about waking up and making it through the day. You were created with intention. You’re not here just to exist. You’re here to impact.

    So whether this blog reaches ten people or ten thousand, I pray it brings change – not through perfect words, but through truth, love, and divine timing.

    Because one inspired woman can shift her entire household.
    One praying mother can change generations.
    One bold step can start a movement.

    And it can all begin here, with one blog post at a time.


    If you’ve felt encouraged today, I’d love for you to share this post or leave a comment below. Let’s start the change together.

    With purpose and love,
    Harmonie Abraham 🤍

  • 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.”

  • Woman, who are you?

    Woman, who are you?

    Take a moment. Breathe. Now, ask yourself this:

    Who are you?
    Not as a wife.
    Not as a mother.
    Not as a daughter.
    Not even by the name of your husband or father.

    Who are you, really?

    This is not just a question, it’s  holy pause in the noise of daily duties and expectations. It is a quiet invitation to come back to yourself.

    Too many of us have been raised, sometimes knowingly, sometimes silently to believe that our value, identity, and even salvation are tethered solely to the men in our lives. We were taught to serve, to give, to support. And while there is deep beauty and divine honor in being a wife and mother, those titles are not the whole of you.

    You were not created as a role. You were created as a soul.

    Your Identity Is In Christ, Not In Roles

    “For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.”
    — Ephesians 2:10

    Before you were someone’s wife or someone’s mother, you were God’s. Designed with purpose. Shaped with intention. Equipped with gifts.

    So again, who are you?

    What dreams did God place in your heart when you were a little girl, long before marriage or motherhood?

    What skills lie dormant because you believed they didn’t “fit” the role you were taught to fill?

    Biblical Women With Purpose Beyond the Home

    • Deborah – A judge and prophetess (Judges 4–5). She led Israel into battle and brought peace to a nation.
    • Priscilla – A teacher of the gospel (Acts 18). She corrected and guided Apollos, a preacher, alongside her husband.
    • Lydia – A successful businesswoman (Acts 16). She dealt in purple cloth and supported the early church.
    • The Proverbs 31 Woman – Not just a wife and mother, but a businesswoman, investor, and leader:

      “She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.” – Proverbs 31:16
      “She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night.” – Proverbs 31:18

    She was not just waiting at the door with dinner. She was up early. Managing. Buying. Selling. Creating. Providing.

    You Are Allowed to Evolve

    Yes, nurture your family. Be the blessing your home needs. But remember this: you are allowed to evolve. To grow. To step into more.

    You are allowed to start that business.
    To return to school.
    To write the book.
    To serve others through your gifts.
    To chase the calling God whispered into your spirit.

    Motherhood and marriage are ministries, but they are not prisons.

    An Encouragement

    Sister, God is not asking you to forsake your family for your dreams. But He may be asking you to wake up to the fullness of what He put inside you.

    Ask Him:
    “Lord, show me who I am when the titles fall away. Remind me of my name, my essence, my purpose.”

    And then listen. Because He will answer.

    Amen
