If you’re going to be a Colburn, you have to enjoy water sports. It’s non-negotiable. Ben’s favorite is the wake board, I’m finally mastering the combo skis, and Grace enjoys the tube. Last weekend, she even tried out the knee board (unfortunately I didn’t get a good picture). Even Jake enjoys being out on the boat.
It’s been a good summer in our new home. Grace has enjoyed quiet time to read, play, and create, and Jake has enjoyed the playground by the river. He gets excited every time he sees a slide! We’ve been camping, visited the beach and the zoo, and enjoyed several excursions on the boat with Ben’s family. Our last event for the summer is another camping trip scheduled for next week.
This week, Grace is on a vacation without me so I’m planning to use the time to format my novel to meet the requirements for the contest hosted by The Christian Writer’s Guild for unpublished authors. The prize is a publishing contract. I know I probably have better odds of winning the lottery, but it’s worth a shot. The only contest I’ve ever won was guessing how many M&M’s were in a glass jar (surprising, I know).
Please pray that if it’s God’s will I would win this contract, and if not, that I would know how to get my novel into the right hands.
You can also pray for dry weather next week. I don’t think we’ve EVER been on a camping trip when it didn’t rain! And camping in the rain isn’t my favorite thing to do. I’m a fan of the sunshine.
