I just came across a small piece of paper that I found in Amber's bible. She has a quote jotted down for frequent referencing. I don't know where she got the quote from, so I am unsure of the author.
Let no man dream of true mortification of sin,
of real sanctification of heart,
who does not deal constantly, closely, and
believingly with the atoning blood of Jesus.
Addendum: The eldest of my elders has notified me of the author. Not surprisingly, it is Octavious Winslow in his book The Work of the Holy Spirit. Amber read this book this past Spring in Ethiopia, actually outlining it as she read, so that I could use the outline in the class I was teaching on the Doctrine of the Holy Spirit.
Thanks Lanny.

It's so awesome how the Lord is bringing these small things to you a little at a time...Amber's journals, notes, testimony video, pre-ordered gifts, etc. He knows what you need and is so lovingly helping you through this all. It's very exciting and encouraging to see how you are resting in the Lord...and little Ellie too! I can imagine that it's easier said than done at times, but you know He's always there!
We love you guys and think about you OFTEN. You will remain in our thoughts and prayers.

I was reading posts on my friend Matt's site (Wendysfriends) and found your blog through your post to Matt.
I don't know the pain of losing a spouse, but I see Matt as he is adjusting to his situation as a single father, and my heart breaks for you, for him, and for anyone who must grieve and raise babies at the same time. I just prayed for you and your children, and I praise God for the protection He brought your babies in the accident and for the strength He is bringing you even now.
In Christ's Love,

Anthony, you don't know me but I am friends with Amanda Lemonds and Ashley Clark. I am a 23 year old college student who has been pretty complacent in my walk with the Lord. I guess I am in a sort of rut right now. I just wanted you to know that the Lord has used Amber and her godly legacy she leaves behind to drive me into a deeper walk with Him. She inspires me to desire to walk with the Lord. I am praying for you and your children. The Lord is using her to bring people closer to Him.
