Well, Since it was raining, I decided to go out and take a few macros. Since the light was low, the shot wasn't as clear as I'd like it to be, but I was able to capture a droplet of water in the center of the flower.

I think I can see a number of droplets but can't be sure of some, as nothing is acceptably sharp, Brandon.
When working in low light, and particularly on extreme close-ups, set your ISO speed to 400. Even if it produces some Noise/Grain, that can be removed in editing, but you can't satisfactorily Sharpen an image that's out of focus and probably has some slight camera movement as well, due to slow shutter speeds. The higher ISO's will give you both higher shutter speeds and smaller apertures, to produce greater depth.
You need both when working that close. If your camera has even higher ISO settings, you should experiment with them. Many cameras can produce acceptable images using up to ISO 1600 and 3200.
