i have been blessed with incredible friends in my life over the years. but, like most women, i have also been deeply hurt by someone i thought was my friend along the way. let's just be real here, girls don't always play nice. am i right? sometimes, the ones that hurt us the most are the ones that we thought we were closest to. it is like a war.
i am reading Women at War by Jan Greenwood, and am delighted to be a part of the book study hosted by A Beautiful Deep.
Jan addresses this often treacherous dynamic of woman-to-woman relationships. and it is a good book. Jan is speaking to my heart and i am letting old wounds heal. ladies, this war started long, long ago. but we have to know this: we are not each other's enemy. our enemy is Satan.

we're in Chapter 6 this week with the Women at War book study. this chapter is all about our family trees, broken branches, and stunted growth as a result of relationship hurts.
but it doesn't have to stay that way. if i am willing to give it to God and trust Him with my relationships, my "tree" can be healed, grow, and thrive! Jan encourages us, broken branches can be mended.
i would love to hear your thoughts on this chapter and the others in the Women at War book study. here are Chapter 6's questions for reflection:
- Have you ever looked up your family tree? What interesting people or stories did you find?
- What does your “tree of life” look like? Are there full, rich, shady parts? Stumps?
- What would it look like for your tree to grow again?
