Ann Voscamp Quotes

“The real problem of life is never a lack of time. The real problem of life - in my life - is lack of thanksgiving.”
― Ann Voscamp, One Thousand Gifts: A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are

“I make soup and I back bread and I know my supreme need is joy in God and I know I can't experience deep joy in God until I deep trust in God. I shine sinks and polish through to the realization that trusting God is my most urgent need. If I deep trusted God in all the facets of my life, wouldn't that deep heal my anxiety, my self-condemnation, my soul holes? The fear is suffocating, terrorizing, and I want the remedy, and it is trust. Trust is everything. If fear keeps our lives small, does a life that receives all of God in this moment grow large too?”
