Last day of the fast

So today is the last day of my sleep fast. It has been a good time to get up and have some time focusing on God. I know there is so much about God that I do not know, and so many questions that I do not have the answers for. But I do know that God is so powerful and can do amazing things through me if I just let him. I am realizing more and more all the time how much I have to stay in the present moment with everything in my life. I can't focus on the past and my mistakes because that just leads to guilt or regret. I can't focus too much on the future because that will just lead to anxiety. I want to be so "present" in every moment so I can listen for God and follow his lead. There was a quote in the devotional that I liked:
     A man can no more take in a supply of grace for the future than he can eat enough for the next six months, or take sufficient air into his lungs at one time to sustain life for a week. We must draw upon God’s boundless store of grace from day to day, as we need it. —D. L. Moody
Grace is just God's ability working through us. I am choosing to trust that God will give me everything I need in every moment. I found another quote that Zoe had posted on her blog yesterday. It is a really great one that I want to share with you also:
     "To the world you are one person, but to one person you could mean the world."


Don't know who said it, but I thought it was a good one. I hope you all have an amazing day. I have enjoyed writing my blog. I will keep it up, but probably not everyday. I love getting comments and feedback so feel free to write something :)
