More quotes by Ann Voskamp
We live in a broken world - and for the life of me I can't get it all right. But Jesus takes all our broken messes and He makes them, by His grace, into a mosaic of grace.
Ann Voskamp
The Word God wastes nothing and He heals two broken hearts with one story - the reader and the writer.
Ann Voskamp
From all of our beginnings, we keep reliving the Garden story.
Ann Voskamp
God’s not out to get you - He’s out to give to you.
Ann Voskamp
I don't think of myself as an author. But simply as a grateful child of God. John 3:27 has long been a life verse: A man can receive nothing unless it has been given him from heaven. Any more words will only be solely a gift from Him. I can only faithfully wait.
Ann Voskamp
God’s purposes are not for me to understand His plans: His plan is for me to understand Who He is.

Motherhood is a hallowed place because children aren’t commonplace. Co-laboring over the sculpting of souls is a sacred vocation, a humbling privilege. Never forget.

I was simply writing out our family stories in my online journal, scratching out what I want to remember, what I was wrestling out with God.

Because nothing is greater and we have no greater need, God gives God.
Ann Voskamp
They say time is money, but that's not true. Time is life. And if I want the fullest life, I need to find fullest time... the busyness of your life leaving little room for the source of your life... God gives us time. And who has time for God? Which makes no sense.
Ann Voskamp
Gratitude is not only a response to God in good times - it's ultimately the very will of God in hard times. Gratitude isn't only a celebration when good things happen. It's a declaration that God is good no matter what happens.
Ann Voskamp
Grace is alive, living waters. If I dam up the grace, hold the blessings tight, joy within dies... waters that have no life.
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
You, who were made by Love, made for love-- be still and know and watch love come down.
Ann Voskamp
Gratitude is the most fruitful way of deepening your consciousness that you are a divine choice.
Ann Voskamp
It's the greatest compliment when the writer becomes invisible in the whole process.
Ann Voskamp
Our fall is always first a failure to give thanks.
