Lesson#57: "If you want the rainbow, you gotta deal with the rain."

This weekend couldn't have been more perfect. Friday night, our musical SOLD OUT! It went great! Saturday's performance was great, too! Even though I had to miss HEB Camp for the first time in almost ten years, it was worth it! I have the best friends ever! I couldn't have asked for a better cast, crew, and directors! What a great experience for my first show!

You know the saying, "Be careful what you wish for."? Well, I think everyone in Abilene can apply that saying to their life right now. Our forecast this past week was full of rain and thunderstorms. Did we get any? No. All week I had been wishing that we would get some rain. Well, today, we got our wish. For about 3 hours straight, it rained, thundered, and hailed. The hail got up to be a little bit bigger than golf ball size, and it flooded up to my knees. Our street was completely covered in water! We were also under a tornado warning for a little while. I'm not saying I didn't appreciate the rain, because we definitely needed it with all the fires we've had. But I will admit, the tornado thing had me scared for awhile!

So what is there to be learned from today? Well, two things.
1. Be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it. And more.
2. If you want the rainbow, you gotta deal with the rain.
