God appoints people who do disappoint - to point to a God who never disappoints.
Ann Voskamp
Being joyful isn't what makes you grateful. Being grateful is what makes you joyful.
Ann Voskamp
If the Church is a body, and the body is a business, isn't that the same thing as prostitution?
Ann Voskamp
Gratitude's not a natural posture. The prince of darkness is ultimately a spoiled ingrate, and I've spent most of my life as kin to the fist-shaker.
Ann Voskamp
I don't really want more time I just want enough time. Time to breathe deep and time to see real and time to laugh long, time to give You glory and rest deep and sing joy and just enough time in a day not to feel hounded, pressed, driven, or wild to get it all done-yesterday.
Ann Voskamp
The prayers we weave into the matching of socks, the stirring of oatmeal, the reading of stories, they survive fire.
Ann Voskamp
Thanksgiving creates abundance and the miracle of multiplying happens when I give thanks-take the just one loaf, say it is enough, and give thanks-and He miraculously makes it more than enough.

Sometimes, too often, I don't want to muster the energy. Stress and anxiety seem easier.

The whole of the life -- even the hard -- is made up of the minute parts, and if I miss the infinitesimals, I miss the whole. These are new language lessons, and I live them out. There is a way to live the big of giving thanks in all things. It is this: to give thanks in this one small thing. The moments will add up.
Ann Voskamp
God lays down all of His fullness into all the emptiness. I am in Him. He is in me. I embrace God in the moment. I give Him thanks and I bless God and we meet and couldn't I make love to God, making every moment love for Him? To know Him the way Adam knew Eve. Spirit skin to spirit skin.
Ann Voskamp
Learning slowly to not be so reactionary while inserting verbal gratitude into stressful situations is almost like being healed of mental blindness.
Ann Voskamp
Living radical isn't about where you live - it's about how you love.
Ann Voskamp
We were made to live in a posture of grateful worship, and when we live in praise we live our purpose, and all the pieces fall in place, us all falling down in thanks.
Ann Voskamp
But, someone, please give me—who is born again but still so much in need of being born anew—give me the details of how to live in the waiting cocoon before the forever begins?
Ann Voskamp
When we lay the soil of our hard lives open to the rain of grace and let joy penetrate our cracked and dry places, let joy soak into our broken skin and deep crevices, life grows. How can this not be the best thing for the world? For us?
Ann Voskamp
How long does it take your soul to realize that your life is full? The slower the living, the greater the sense of fullness and satisfaction.
Ann Voskamp
You've got to use the life you've been given to give others life
Ann Voskamp
Eucharisteo—thanksgiving—always precedes the miracle.
Ann Voskamp
Are stress and worry evidence of a soul too lazy, too undisciplined, to keep gaze fixed on God?
Ann Voskamp
Any kind of love that lacks the iron of the Cross in it, is anemic love.
