If you find honey, eat just enough—
too much of it, and you will vomit.
If there ever was a verse I need to memorize, it’s this Proverbs 25:16. I’ve read it so many times and just now is the truth of it settling in.
I’m well known for my addictions. Whether it be to a TV show, artist, song or food, I’m either in or out. When I like something, I LOVE it. It’s my favorite. I have to find out every single detail about it.
I’ve learned over the years that Solomon was right…you end up vomiting too much of a good thing.
My addictions become chains that I can’t seem to step away from and then I no longer enjoy it just to enjoy it.
Solomon isn’t suggesting to abstain but to have just enough.
But what I’ve learned is when you’re like me and you can’t have just enough, don’t have it at all.
Challenge: What is your honey? Are you having just enough or too much?

My honey is shopping and reading blogs. I could sit at the computer for hours and read about other people’s lives. How sad is that?
