More quotes by Ann Voskamp
God gives gifts and I give thanks and I unwrap the gift given: joy.
Ann Voskamp
It's habits that can imprison you and it's habits that can free you. But when thanks to God becomes a habit - so joy in God becomes your life.
Ann Voskamp
So my blog wasn't about platform but really, it was everything you are not supposed to do in blogging.
Ann Voskamp
From all of our beginnings, we keep reliving the Garden story.
Ann Voskamp
Writing is this act of faith - a bit like driving in the fog: you can hardly see just in front of you. But you trust God's leading you and you just write into the space you can see ahead of you.
Ann Voskamp
Research actually indicates that if you write down what you're grateful for, it increases your happiness by 25 percent. And who doesn't want that? And God's word says (1 Thessalonians 5), Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. Who doesn't want to know exactly what God's will is for them?

I think it was simply word of mouth that made it a New York Timesbestseller for more than 60 weeks, over a year. People being moved and changed and transformed by the book [One Thousand Gifts] and wanting to share that with hurting people all around them.
Ann Voskamp
The prayers we weave into the matching of socks, the stirring of oatmeal, the reading of stories, they survive fire.
Ann Voskamp
The book [ One Thousand Gifts] took just over a year to write, on the fringe hours, early and late, around home educating 6 kids and farming and blogging.
Ann Voskamp
When grief is deepest, words are fewest.
Ann Voskamp
[Bill Jensen] shared his extensive publishing background with me, and prayerfully offered to work out a proposal and to see if God opened any publishing doors? I never get over the unexpected ways of God.
Ann Voskamp
Joy and pain, they are but two arteries of the one heart that pumps through all those who don't numb themselves to really living.
Ann Voskamp
God only allows pain if He’s allowing something new to be born.
Ann Voskamp
You were made for the place where your real # passion meets # compassion because there lies your real purpose.
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
Being joyful isn't what makes you grateful. Being grateful is what makes you joyful.
Ann Voskamp
The bravest love is wildly faithful and it falls hard again every morning... It knows what we seek may be found in what we already have... it's grace and fresh gratitude that can make us strong enough to marvel in the seeming monotony of anything... And the happily married have eyes that look long enough to make the familiar new.

On the night He was betrayed Jesus broke bread and lifted it up and gave THANKS. If Jesus can give thanks in that, can we not give thanks in all?
