My friend Darcy Hansen graduates today with her doctorate degree. We met in the DMin program. When we met we were the only two women amongst a sea of men.

I was not able to finish the program, but our friendship has lasted, growing bit by bit throughout the three years. That’s what I find true about friendship—there is a seed that is planted when people meet, but it is watered with love, courage, kindness, and encouragement.

Darcy has been graced with hearts in her journey through life. You can visit her Instagram account and see the bits of grace that she encounters on walks. I wonder if it is God showing her that Grace exists in unexpected spaces.

So, my friend, you have taught me about the unexpected grace of your friendship, just like the morning sun in the world.
