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
All fear is but the notion that God's love ends.
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
The moment when you are most repelled by a child's behavior, that is your warning light to draw the very closest to that child.
Ann Voskamp
You can give up the need to compete in the world- when you accept being complete in Christ.
Ann Voskamp
No one told me that it would all happen at the same hallowed time: Mothering is at once the hardest and the holiest and the happiest.
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
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.
Ann Voskamp
Life is so urgent and necessitates living slow. It's only the amateurs-and that I've been, and it's been ugly-who thinks slow and urgent are contradictory.
Ann Voskamp
...life change comes when we receive life with thanks and ask for nothing to change.
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
God gives gifts and I give thanks and I unwrap the gift given: joy.
Ann Voskamp
I fly to Paris and discover how to make love to God.
Ann Voskamp
If trust must be earned, hasn't God unequivocally earned our trust with the bark on the raw wounds, the thorns pressed into the brow, your name on the cracked lips.
Ann Voskamp
Poor communication doesn’t disconnect souls. It’s the disconnected souls who poorly communicate.
Ann Voskamp
God is always good and we are always loved... even when what He gives may appear ugly.
Ann Voskamp
When we fixate on the worst in something, we render ourselves incapable of fixing anything... But attend to the good in something - and we act towards the best in everything.
Ann Voskamp
I receive grace. And through me, grace could flow on. Like a cycle of water in continuous movement, grace is meant to fall, a rain...again, again, again. I could share the grace, multiply the joy, extend the table of the feast, enlarge the paradise of His presence. I am blessed. I can bless.

Kathie Lee [Gifford] invited me to come to New York for lunch with her - and surprised with an unexpected shout out again for One Thousand Gifts on the show and graciously asked a few questions on camera. Indebted to her and the people who read and looked for Jesus in the pages and shared the hope and joy of Him - right where they are.

Giving thanks is that: making the canyon of pain into a megaphone to proclaim the ultimate goodness of God when Satan and all the world would sneer at us to recant.
