a beautiful day

I made it to the convent yesterday,
thanks to a friend in Oxford who gave me directions.
i got lost on Saturday and finally gave up..
i don't have GPS technology in my 97 Toyota pick-up
i don't even have electric windows and doors
and no one i asked around here knew how to get there..
i called them but the phone rang and rang,
but yesterday was a wonderful time.
Parents from all over the country were there visiting.
A man asked me if i had a daughter there..
Every parent I met seemed so proud of their daughters decision,
the decision to follow Jesus this way..
i honestly can't overstate the glow in these girls..
their smiles reveal a deep substantial joy..
they have over 250 sisters there,
and it is the fastest growing convent in the country.
i spent some time in the glorious chapel before i left.
it was a beautiful day..
