This past summer my daughter and I spent two weeks in Jackson, Mississippi attending Ballet Magnificat!'s summer intensive. I took the teacher courses while she attended the student classes. One of the teacher technique classes was taught by Jonathan and I remember something he said this morning as I reluctantly got out of bed. We were at the barre and he had just given us a combination that included a pirouette. It was the first pirouette of the class. "Just take it easy," he said, "it is your first pirouette of the class. Take it slow. Don't attack it just let it happen. Ease into it."
That is how I feel this morning. Today is a first pirouette day. I need to ease into it slowly and just let it happen. Most days I attack right out of the gate could probably achieve a triple with no problem but this one is different. Physically I am tired and sore. Mentally I am sluggish. Spiritually I am worn.
God, take this day and help me ease into Your plans for it. Help me to follow Your leading. Allow me to take it slow and let it happen. Thank You for Your patience with me. I love You, Your daughter.
