Notes and Quotes:
“Even when I’ve made mistakes, even when I’ve done things the wrong way, He is so patient and meets me exactly where I need Him. He even redeems my own self-made messes for His good.” —Heather Day
“You have to invite the Holy Spirit and invite God to look at who you are and what your unique struggle is and to show you what that looks like, because where God wants to work on me is not the same way that God wants to work on you.” —Heather Day
“Look at finances through the lens of the fruit of the Holy Spirit: Am I showing good fruit or bad fruit? Am I viewing the way I manage my money through love, or am I viewing and managing it through greed? Am I viewing it through gentleness and kindness, or am I using it to abuse and hold others down? Am I using it loosely and carelessly, or am I exhibiting self-control?” —Heather Day
“If you’re inviting God to be a part of the mess, God will bring solutions into your life.” —Heather Day
