They had every reason to stay home. The radar showed a complete washout—rain painted across the entire state. But that morning, Rebecca Hidlay zipped up her daughter’s hoodie, loaded the car, and drove straight into what should’ve been a ruined day. What unfolded next is just one of the quiet, breathtaking moments found in her unforgettable book, RARE (The true story of how I survived a narcissistic parent with homicidal tendencies. A testimony of God’s love and grace.).
After surviving a childhood of calculated cruelty and deep emotional scars, Rebecca didn’t take peace for granted. She knew joy was fragile. So when she planned a simple day at Knoebels Amusement Park, it wasn’t just a family outing—a symbol of healing, of reclaiming something she’d never had: lightness.
But the storm was coming. The forecasts were relentless. And yet—she prayed.
Not to impress. Not out of panic. Just a whispered request to a Father she’d come to know in the fire: Let the rain wait.
And it did.
As clouds poured over surrounding towns, Knoebels stayed dry. Ride after ride, laughter after laughter, the skies held. No umbrella needed. No ponchos bought. Just Rebecca and her daughter, walking beneath a sky held open by grace.
