Quotes

“I really am concerned that we have raised an entire generation to think that if things don't happen instantly, then it's not for you, or that it's not meant to be, or that God hasn't called you to it.” - Heather Thompson Day

“I think the best thing we can do to stand in the gap is to just be present and to just see people, without an agenda, without the agenda of trying to convert them or change them or fix them.” - Heather Thompson Day

“I think that we sometimes lose how valuable that actually can be for people to just know, Oh, this person sees me, this person acknowledges what I've been doing. So many of us go through life feeling just invisible.” - Heather Thompson Day

“I have known the God of over and over again. And if there is one thing I have grown to appreciate about God, it's how patient He is. God has been incredibly patient with me on my journey.” - Heather Thompson Day
