Someone, somewhere out there, is going to be offended by my title. And if you are offended by my title, you will MOST definitely be offended by my examples in today’s podcast episode. Addicted to curriculum, something we laugh about and yet something that can have serious damaging effects on our homeschool journey: discontent, lack of joy, overwhelm, lack of motivation, feelings of failure, and more! I don’t say it lightly, to be honest I think we are all addicted to something in some way or another. Maybe shopping, maybe cleaning (kind of wish that was me), maybe control, maybe being needed. Every one of us has something deep inside of us that wants more in some capacity. It is both a flaw in our humanity but also, a root of how God created us to be.
Today’s episode is really about more than just buying too many books (in typical Rebecca rant fashion), it is about seeking more in life and running after all that God has for you. It is about finding the balance between looking forward and embracing today. No, not addiction, but not settling or stifling yourself either!
