Wonderstruck- Week 5

Welcome back to online Bible study for women as we continue Wonderstruck by Margaret Feinberg. This week we’re discussing week five from the workbook, with only two more weeks to enjoy!

Our focus this week has been on the wonder of friendships. I hope you have been able to look at the questions on page 108 and discover joy in your friendships. If you have not already done so, you can make a coffee date this week with one of your friends or someone you’d like to know better and go over the questions.  

 

As you read the five daily lessons from Wonderstruck  this week, you learned about healthy and unhealthy friendships. We all have both of these in our lives and Margaret challenged you to set some friendships in order with “The Difficult Conversation” TDC.  Hmmmmm- did anyone have to set any friendships on order?

I hope that if you took nothing else away from this week's lessons it is the reminder that Jesus is the only Friend we really ever need. Many of us have had the experience of losing a friendship and not knowing why, or of feeling lonely with no one to share our triumphs or sorrows.  This is never easy, but during these seasons you can always go to the one friend that will never abandon you.  Remember that He understands as He also experienced this when His own friends abandoned Him, King of Kings.    Talk to your Friend, give Him your worries, and seek His opinion instead of your friends.  He will be there for you, and He will also show you the friends in your life.
