More quotes by Ann Voskamp
In our rushing, bulls in china shops, we break our own lives.
Ann Voskamp
Satan's sin becomes the first sin of all humanity: the sin of ingratitude. Adam and Eve are, simply, painfully ungrateful for what God gave.
Ann Voskamp
Life isn't an emergency. Christ is in charge of every moment of the day nothing catches Him off guard.
Ann Voskamp
We give thanks to God not because of how we feel, but because of Who He is.

Simplicity is ultimately a matter of focus.

I am a hunter of beauty and I move slow and I keep the eyes wide, every fiber of every muscle sensing all wonder and this is the thrill of the hunt and I could be an expert on the life full, the beauty meat that lurks in every moment. I hunger to taste life. God.

Instead of giving someone a piece of your mind, it turns out far better if you give them a piece of your heart.
Ann Voskamp
Lament is a cry of belief in a good God, a God who has His ear to our hearts, a God who transfigures the ugly into beauty. Complaint is the bitter howl of unbelief in any benevolent God in this moment, a distrust in the love-beat of the Father's heart.
Ann Voskamp
The only way to care for the disadvantaged - is to disadvantage yourself -which is guaranteed to turn out for your advantage.
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. And I wonder if the greatest challenges was to keep pressing into it when I had never been here before. I felt like Abraham - being called to something that he didn't know how to get to.
Ann Voskamp
Being joyful isn't what makes you grateful. Being grateful is what makes you joyful.
Ann Voskamp
There are two kinds of doubt: one that fully lives into the questions, and one that uses the questions as weapons against fully living.
Ann Voskamp
Who would ever know the greater graces of comfort and perserverance, mercy and forgiveness, patience and courage, if no shadows fell over a life?
Ann Voskamp
Be radical about grace and relentless about truth and resolute about holiness.

The message of Christmas is not that we can make peace. Or that we can make love, make light, make gifts, or make this world save itself. The message of Christmas is that this world’s a mess and we can never save ourselves from ourselves and we need a Messiah.
