The word was yesterday’s ‘V’ word: Voyage. I had no idea what I was in for as looked up for a verse. I was immediately sent to a website called “Voyage & Verse”. A book was on the front page by Jessica Watson, who at the age of 16 sailed by herself around the world. I thought, “Hey, my daughter’s 16, and she likes to read.” Watson’s book titled, ‘True Spirit’ seemed full of grit and guts to do the incredible. I can’t wait for her to read it!
Again, in celebration of the great gift idea, I am posting that day’s septet:
Voyage
Your way is before me.
I choose each step I am to go.
The day does not randomly float by, and I, it’s helpless passenger.
Nor does it pass me as if I stood on an island silent and unnoticed.
I am the boat and You are my Captain.
If I was on an isle, You noticed me and taught me to float.
You helped me realize my value on this, our voyage.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Just a few thoughts. 1. I have not read ‘True Spirit’ so I don’t know the content. So it follows that, 2. my septet has nothing to do with it. And likewise, 3. I don’t know the agenda or bent of the website, but like a piece of driftwood, I just went with it.
