Overview
Women’s friendships can be beautifully affirming at the best of times, but painful and difficult to navigate at other times. Being humans, we make mistakes and hurt one another. It’s easy to cling to pain and withdraw in order to avoid future pain.
How wonderful it would be if you could be someone who calls women to reflect, pray, and heal—so they can build (or even re-build) friendships that will support them for the rest of their lives.
God designed us to be in relationships, and we believe friendships are precious. If you agree, use this journal to offer self- or group-study opportunities.
You’ll love the small stories told throughout the journal. They spark reflection and discussion for sure!
Excerpt from first section
Some Friendships Are Short
Beth continues…
“Just as I was coming to faith, she moved away.”
The question on my mind at the time was, “Why bring her into my life just to take her away the minute I was ready to truly grow spiritually?”
I don’t know if you get the humor in that. Of course, she’d been discipling me all along.
Looking back, I can guess God knew I’d have been too reliant on her, and He was creating a season where I would trust him to bring me new friends, which of course He did.
