Learning to Dance in the Rain
One stormy day during one of Isabella's rehearsals for Coppelia, we made a mistake of taking the train rather than our usual drive. We decided to take the BART because it's a long rehearsal and I didn't want to have to worry about moving the car and finding another 2hr parking. When we got out of the train, it was pouring rain. I told Isabella: "let's stop at the library and wait for the rain to pass". She said: "But mommy we don't know when the rain will pass. Let's just go for it". So we did. As we were walking the 3 long blocks to SFB, the rain seemed to have gotten worse and I can feel the water seeping into my boots. I was so concerned about Isabella's tights getting wet. By now I started getting irritated, opening a door for the enemy to come in. I got upset at Isabella for suggesting to "just go for it" instead of stopping at the library. In her efforts to calm me down, she said: "Mom, remember you always say to enjoy the moments? and this is a rare moment when we get to walk in the rain! Let's have fun with it and we'll always remember it". Well, I will surely remember that moment. I learned yet another lesson from my angel daughter.
" I have told you these things,
so that in me you may have peace.
In this world you will have trouble.
But take heart! I, Jesus, have overcome the world."
