Have you ever heard someone tell you not to limit yourself to a double? Or a triple, or whatever you're used to doing? My teacher told us to stay in releve the entire time we're turning so that we can see where we are falling, because dancers often automatically drop out of a pirouette just because they are used to stopping, not because they are done with the turn.
Today I read from two different sources about the power of expectations. The Word Among Us said, "Don't limit what God can do for you, in you, and through you. Life with him is full of surprises!" So it's the same with God? In One Thousand Gifts Ann Voskamp, went as so far to say, "Expectations kill relationships--especially with God" (169).
Wow. Today I don't want to limit myself to what I expect from God, or to a double pirouette. It won't be easy, and I won't do it perfectly, but I think it's what God wants of me today. Are you with me?

P.S. The dancer in above video does a great job of pulling up during her whole turn. This is key for multiple pirouettes!!
