The privilege to walk across the Pensacola Christian College stage to collect my BA in English isn’t easily forgotten. An event that summarized 4 1/2 years of focused diligence.

Friendships developed, lifelong lessons learned, sides ached from laughter. But the quiet moments, I think, I valued the most.

Not until my last year did I find a shady green spot where I slipped away almost every afternoon with my Bible and pencil. Those were the times I rejoiced in The Lord, cried before Him, and simply listened to His Word.

Truthfully, I don’t know what else compares to that. Between a friend and myself, these moments were called “dates with Jesus.”

Today my shady green spot takes the form of a fluffy white pillow and sheets or the dining room table. Days just aren’t the same without it…

Where do you seek His face?
