Ann Voskamp is a bit of a mess.
She won a full-tuition scholarship to university and never finished. She married a Farmer and came home to gravel road and cornfields and had babies. A lot of them. Half a dozen. Her laundry basket is never empty. She loses library books. She homeschools their six beautifully exuberant kids and most days feel just a tad bit overwhelmed and very crazy.
She's the author of One Thousand Gifts: A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are (Zondervan). And everyday, she's just wild enough to take the dare. Right in the midst of her own messy, gritty, grace-filled life.
When the kids and the washing machine sleep, she washes her real dirt down with words and The Word. Some of her words find themselves in an award-winning series for curious kids, A Child's Geography, of which all profits are donated to Compassion. Other words can be found at Laity Lodge's High Calling where she serves as a contributing editor, and other words advocate for the poor as she is a blogger traveling with Compassion.
The only words that really matter are the ones she lives. This convicts her. She clings to grace.
Everyday she writes about the mess and the grace and the everyday wonder at www.aholyexperience.com
