36. Jared: Day 100

Today is day 100. It is a calm day; one of the smoothest we have yet experienced. Everyone is on deck. We have been besieged by storms for thirteen days, unable to emerge or open in the hatch. We have seen no sunlight. Our children were growing restless. I lost count of how many quarrels there were in the last three days alone. And suddenly, remarkably, the skies have cleared. It is as if our God wished to celebrate this day for us. 

We are alone. There is nothing but stillness surrounding our little fleet. No birds fill the sky. Not a single wisp of cloud. The water remains motionless as far as the eye can see. Today is for us. God reminds us of His power, His Strength, and His guidance. We depend on him entirely for our safekeeping. He will guide our fleet to our new home, just as He guided the building of these remarkable vessels, just like He guided our families to our seaside hideaway, just as He guided us to those who travel in our family. We will find our new home some day. Until then, we will praise and worship from these sea-bound vessels.
