Text Quotes
Until we call attention to the moments of our lives, we miss our lives  (Ann Voskamp Quotes) Grace is the only thing that is ever enough  (Ann Voskamp Quotes) I only live the full life when I live fully in the moment  (Ann Voskamp Quotes) Busy is a choice. Stress is a choice. Joy is a choice. Choose well  (Ann Voskamp Quotes) Once you have tasted conviction, you can’t bear to keep swallowing complacency  (Ann Voskamp Quotes) 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 Quotes) 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 Quotes) 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 Quotes) 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 Quotes) But wells don’t come without first begging to see the wells; wells don’t come without first splitting open hard earth, cracking back the lids. There’s no seeing God face-to-face without first the ripping  (Ann Voskamp Quotes) 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 Quotes) God gives the world enough of what it needs. All He asks is that we distribute what He gives  (Ann Voskamp Quotes) 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 Quotes) God is always good and we are always loved... even when what He gives may appear ugly  (Ann Voskamp Quotes) What was intended to harm, God intended it all for good. And no matter what intends to harm you, God’s arms have you. You can never be undone  (Ann Voskamp Quotes) Gratitude’s not a natural posture. The prince of darkness is ultimately a spoiled ingrate, and I’ve spent most of my life as kin to the fist-shaker  (Ann Voskamp Quotes) Pantheism, seeing the natural world as divine, is a very different thing than seeing divine God present in all things  (Ann Voskamp Quotes) Our [people’s] very saving is associated with our gratitude. Which follows: if our fall in the garden was ingratitude, then salvation must be intimately related to giving of thanks  (Ann Voskamp Quotes) Really good writing, from my perspective, runs a lot like a visual on the screen. You need to create that kind of detail and have credibility with the reader, so the reader knows that you were really there, that you really experienced it, that you know the details. That comes out of seeing  (Ann Voskamp Quotes) In a storm of struggles, I have tried to control the elements, clasp the fist tight so as to protect self and happiness. But stress can be an addiction, and worry can be our lunge for control, and we forget the answer to this moment is always yes because of Christ  (Ann Voskamp Quotes) 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 Quotes) Sometimes, too often, I don’t want to muster the energy. Stress and anxiety seem easier.  (Ann Voskamp Quotes) ...life change comes when we receive life with thanks and ask for nothing to change.  (Ann Voskamp Quotes) I didn’t (and still don’t) have comments [in my blog]. It’s about simply writing for an audience of One.  (Ann Voskamp Quotes) Christian hands never claspand He doesn’t give gifts for gainbecause a gift can never stop being a gift - it is always meant to be given.  (Ann Voskamp Quotes) Being joyful isn’t what makes you grateful. Being grateful is what makes you joyful.  (Ann Voskamp Quotes) 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 Quotes) When we can’t bottle our tears up anymore, God catches every one in His bottle. God’s catching every falling tear because He won’t let us fall apart.  (Ann Voskamp Quotes) My husband is Dutch, and his family, when you sat down to eat food at the table, you never left the table until you ate living bread and drank living water. They never left the table until they’d read Scripture together. So morning, lunch, suppertime, Scripture was always read at the table, and then there was prayer to close.  (Ann Voskamp Quotes) The Word God wastes nothing and He heals two broken hearts with one story - the reader and the writer.  (Ann Voskamp Quotes)
