All I Want....

  • All I want is to bring Him glory with every breath that I take
  • All I want is to throw off this fallen body full of its sin and infirmities
  • All I want is not to speak to thousands, although I will if the Lord allows (and He already has) but instead to be able to be fully known (at least as one can be in an earthly sense) and loved like Christ loves the Church by one man and to love him well all the days of my life.
  • All I want is to remember the journey and not get so anxious for the destination
  • All I want is to see my friends (like Rachel) walk down the isle and marry men who will take care of them and ultimately point them to the Lord for their completion.
  • All I want is to continue to be refined, to continue to be crushed down and broken in two so that He can be most fully glorified through me.
  • All I want is understanding from those who haven't seemed to realize that I now work out of conviction and not guilt, that I can't say 'yes' to all things -- even if they're for the Kingdom.
  • All I want is to stand before Jesus and hear 'well done', to not get caught up in legalism but not let complacency ruin my life with Christ, either.
  • All I want is to one day be a mother, to give the love of my life a son of his very own, to raise our child in the ways of the Lord and, for now, continue to not only pray for this miracle but BELIEVE that with God all things truly are possible.
  • All I want is to see the days of abortion in this country cease, to be able to make people realize that there are millions of couples in the U.S. who desperately long for children and who would much rather take care of these innocent souls than see them killed daily by the thousands.
  • All I want is for Jesus to come back and set up His monarchy, where He is Kings of Kings and Lord of Lords and the need for a president or other earthly ruler is no more.
  • All I want is my glorification but am learning to appreciate my sanctification.
  • All I want is to see Jesus face-to-face, the One who died for me.

Dear Amber,
Thank you for your continuous prayers for Connie's salvation. I just found out today that her sister Alisha lost the battle to cystic fibrosis a few days ago. Please keep her family in your prayers and keep praying for their salvation.

Once again, thank you for your encouragement. I loved reading your book and I keep it by my nightstand when I need a pick-me-up.

Love in Christ,
Dannielle Albert

I was really inspired by your interview on Life Today and instantly became interested in reading your book (which I plan to do):P It amazes me how you remained so positive during what was probably your toughest life experience. It was also brought to my attention that God will move in our lives at the least expected moments and completely change our world for the better! Your testimony really puts into perspective how everything is really in God's hands after all and if we allow him to take complete control, the best results will come out of our situations. Thankyou for sharing your testimony and please continue to spread God's word to others!

Blessing Amber, May your light never burn out sister. Preach your message to the world and trust upon our heavenly father for guidance and direction. I watched your appearance on James Robison and was brought to tears. May his blessings be with you each and every day.

Bless you! I saw you on Life Today though I normally do not watch it. Your story was very inspiring. I have lived with Spina Bifada for 38 years but have known Christ since July 1. Thank you, so much, Amber for your life and blessing!
