[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.

More quotes by Ann Voskamp
God’s not out to get you - He’s out to give to you.
Ann Voskamp
The blog is meant to be a bit of a side chapel - a place to slip into and still and encounter the glory of God - and come away again with a fresh sense that your life, right where you are, is a holy experience - that God dwells with you and in you, and where you are is holy ground, worthy of reverence and celebration and wonder.
Ann Voskamp
Only speak words that make souls stronger -\-\ for once words are spoken, they may be forgiven, but may be not forgotten.
Ann Voskamp
At the last, this is what will determine a fulfilling, meaningful life, a life that, behind all the facades, every one of us longs to live: gratitude for the blessings that expresses itself by becoming the blessing.
Ann Voskamp
Learning slowly to not be so reactionary while inserting verbal gratitude into stressful situations is almost like being healed of mental blindness.
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
In our rushing, bulls in china shops, we break our own lives.
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
When we know Christ, we always know how things are going to go...always for our good and always for His glory.
Ann Voskamp
The joy of the Lord is your strength and the person of Christ is your unassailable joy - and the battle for joy is nothing less than fighting the good fight of faith.
Ann Voskamp
We only enter into the full life if our faith gives thanks. Because how else do we accept His free gift of salvation if not with thanksgiving? Thanksgiving is the evidence of our acceptance of whatever He gives. Thanksgiving is the manifestation of our Yes! to His grace.
Ann Voskamp
Your naked body deserves the honor of being shared only with someone who is covenanted to never stop loving your naked soul.
Ann Voskamp
Because One died for me that I might breathe this breath...It's all a gift.
Ann Voskamp
Love comes softly, it cannot be forced...cannot bear the weight of our expectations. Love always comes in the surrender - in the falling.
Ann Voskamp
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.
Ann Voskamp
Praying with eyes wide open is the only way to pray without ceasing.
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. Isn’t that the catalyst of all my sins? Our fall was, has always been, and always will be, that we aren’t satisfied in God and what He gives. We hunger for something more, something other.
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
When I fully enter time’s swift current, enter into the current moment with the weight of all my attention, I slow the torrent with the weight of me all here.
Ann Voskamp
That which tears open our souls, those holes that splatter our sight, may actually become the thin, open places to see through the mess of this place to the heart-aching beauty beyond. To Him. To the God whom we endlessly crave.
Ann Voskamp
