More quotes by Ann Voskamp
Every moment I live, I live bowed to something. And if I don't see God, I'll bow down before something else.
Ann Voskamp
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 gives the world enough of what it needs. All He asks is that we distribute what He gives.
Ann Voskamp
Real joy is not found in having the best of everything but in trusting that God is making the best of everything.

Comparison is a thug that robs your joy. But its even more than that - Comparison makes you a thug who beats down somebody - or your soul.
Ann Voskamp

Ann Voskamp
We all get to choose where we set up the stage of our lives - before the Crowds, the Court, the Congregation, the Critics (inner or otherwise)-- or the Cross of Christ. All except One will assess your performance. Only One will accept you before your performance ... Only in Jesus is there 100% acceptance before even 1% performance.
Ann Voskamp
All God makes is good. Can it be that that which seems to oppose the will of God actually is used of Him to accomplish the will of God?
Ann Voskamp
I hunger for filling in a world that is starved.
Ann Voskamp
In a world addicted to speed, I blur the moments into one unholy smear.
Ann Voskamp
God gives gifts and I give thanks and I unwrap the gift given: joy.
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
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.
