This one is personal.
This time last year, I was hanging on by a thread.
There was no such thing as balance. No such thing as harmony, at least not the kind you post about with matching outfits and curated smiles. I was in survival mode.
I had to leave my husband and four children at home to take my teenage daughter across the country for open-heart surgery. Just typing that sentence brings it back. I don’t know how to explain to someone what it feels like when the word “surgery” is paired with the word “heart.” It was gut-wrenching. Soul-wrecking.
And as if that wasn’t enough, I was also wrapping up my doctoral program. I had chosen to double my courseload so I could graduate on time. Add that to everything else—my kids needing me, my husband holding it down alone, assignments looming, and the emotional weight of it all?
Tell me where the balance was in that.
There wasn’t any.
But somehow… there was harmony.
Not the polished kind.
The messy kind.
The kind that only makes sense to Heaven.
I did what I could. I called my kids as often as I could. I prayed with my daughter before her surgery. I submitted papers in the hospital waiting room. I cried when I needed to. I leaned into my village. I survived one breath at a time.
And I was never alone.
That’s why I started this series. Because “balance” didn’t save me—God did. Harmony isn’t a formula. It’s a faith walk. It’s asking God, “What needs my attention today?” and being okay when the answer looks different than what you had planned.
Sometimes your calendar doesn’t align with your calling.
Sometimes the rhythm changes mid-song.
But harmony?
That’s the Spirit tuning your life to His purpose—even when it’s offbeat.
Anchor Scripture:
“The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace.”
— Psalm 29:11 (NIV)
So here’s your reminder:
You don’t have to strive for perfect balance.
You just need to be in tune with the One who holds it all.
Reflection Prompt:
What might harmony look like in this season of your life—really?
Not the curated version. Not the polished one. But the real, raw harmony of your now.
