She’s Ann Voskamp, a plain Ann without even the fanciful “e”, wife to The Farmer, mama to six, and in her own words, “a bit of a mess.”
Ann was named by Christianity Today as one of the leading fifty women who are shaping culture and the Church today. She’s a New York Times best-selling author many times over, communicator, story teller and advocate for those without a voice.
In her book One Thousand Gifts, Ann Voskamp describes a profound moment while hanging laundry. She looks at the clothesline and wooden clothespins, suddenly visualizing the line as the horizontal beam and the clothespin as the upright post, seeing a “cross in the clothespin” that turns ordinary chores into holy ground.
“The only words that really matter are the ones I live.
This convicts me. I keep writing it out here everyday, the words I am seeking to live — about this wondrously messy, everyday-holy life….
about finding the beauty and quiet,
about slowing to see the sacred in the chaos,
and the Cross in the clothespin.”

Good Afternoon Pastor Bob! I read your blog this morning, then I got distracted. My favourite quote is, “It definitely gets harder before it gets easier. But, it will definitely get better- if you don’t give up when it’s the hardest.” It really explains what I am going through at the present time. Thank you for sharing this blog with us. Have a great week! ❤️
