This swine flu thing is really getting out of control. Not the actual flu (of which most of you are aware), but the absolutely catastrophic reactions to it. All field trips and inter-school events have been canceled until May 11th.
Right now, I am not greatly affected. The only field trip that we have planned is the STATE ONE ACT PLAY COMPETITION! Luckily, this is scheduled for May 15th and so this will hopefully all be blown over by that point. However, they have postponed the 1A, 2A, and 3A competitions that were scheduled for May 8 &9, so I wouldn't put anything past them. I believe that up to 3 school districts in the state of Texas are completely shut down until May 11th. There may be more at this point, but I am avoiding news stalking.
God works in mysterious ways, though, ya know? I mean, so far, a bunch of surprising and uncontrollable things that have happened have ended up being huge blessings in disguise. We submitted 2 different plays for approval with UIL and were going to do a play called "Pagannini" hoping that a very flaky teenage boy would be our lead. Then he failed his classes and we had to find another play 3 months ago. The play we ended up choosing was perfect and has gotten us to state. The sad show that we did last year which got us nowhere and we were all depressed about, has supplied the majority of the set for this years show which has received many compliments. And now school may be canceled for a week. But maybe it's just the forced rest that everyone needs. Especially right after TAKS week. I think we are all brain dead.
All I can say is that God proves Himself faithful in every situation. And faithful doesn't just mean working everything out just the way we want it in the end in order to lead to complete success. Faithful really means that God is really good about making sure that He receives glory in every sitatuation. We just may not see that glory until a day, a month, a year, or a lifetime later. I know that He will be glorified in the Hendrickson High School one act play "drama" (no pun intended) and I just hope that I will get to help bring some of it to him.
