Five Tips for Choosing Curriculum

43 Replies
So often we get “hung up” where curriculum in concerned: it becomes the main thing and we lean into IT instead of into the Lord.
So with that said, here are some of my favorite tips for choosing curriculum!
Remember, moms, HIS yoke is easy and HIS burden is light.
Homeschooling should be a joy. It should not run you over and leave you for dead. 🙂
If you’re already overwhelmed by the curriculum or program you chose, it may be time to prayerfully consider another way. ♥

Listening for the Lord

Had a great turnout in Eugene, Oregon. I love hanging out with homeschool moms – it’s encouraging to see so many parents who have chosen to nurture their children in this way.  Traveling is an added bonus.   It is GORGEOUS out here in the Willamette Valley.  Beautiful blue skies. Huge birds flying overhead. We love it.

Last night we were talking about scheduling  – you know, GETTING THINGS DONE.  But if we get things done and forget why we’re homeschooling – if we have the most amazing schedule down to a science and fail to take advantage of the opportunity to disciple our kids, then we miss out on the best part about homeschooling.

We have a passion to encourage parents to listen for the Lord as they plan their homeschool journey.  Only God knows exactly the plans He has for you – and the best way to find out what that plan is… is to listen.

“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.” Jeremiah 29:11

If you’re at a crossroad in your homeschool journey, take the time to listen to the Lord.  Then, seek wise counsel before you set your plans into action.

Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed. Proverbs 15:22

It’s so hard to be still, but it is a requirement if we’re going to hear from God in this bustling, busy world. Shhh.  He’s still speaking.
