Welcome to The Wildroot Parables weekly discussions! This is where we can come together as a community and have real talk with one another: open, honest, gracious, and curious.
This is YOUR space to discuss with each other, not just engage with me! Because of this, SAFE SHARING is my highest priority. If you are not engaging safely and with grace with others, you will have to leave. Period.
Thank you for entering this space with care!
In this week’s devotional, we explored the strangeness of this year’s spring and how God is still present and active in the tiny resurrections we see and experience around us and in us daily.
Our question is: where have you seen or felt resurrections—small or large—around you this week?
Your "Strange Spring" devotional thought made me realize my limited vision. Often, I tend to acknowledge God's handiwork only when the seedling sprouts from the soil, so to speak. "Look," I say, "there's new growth!" But the growth actually began days or weeks or even months earlier and progressed unseen before the green shoot finally appeared. This is the frustrating and reassuring part about waiting on God: we wait for the visible sign -- the seedling -- but in His design, resurrection is often less an event than a process.

Resurrection as a process! Yes. Thank you for this Truth!
Beautifully said! How we long for those visible signs, but the process can be even more beautiful. :)
