Joni's Battle with Cancer

Many of you have heard of Joni Eareckson Tada. Writer, singer, song-writer, artist, international speaker, founder of "Wheels for the World" and Jesus-loving quadriplegic. If not, here is a link to her website (Joni and Friends). I've followed her for many years and was shocked when I heard of her recent diagnosis with breast cancer. To be honest, I began to weep. I've read enough of her books to feel as though she is a distant friend and mentor.

The books, "When God Weeps" and "The God I Love," have made significant impacts to my Christian walk. I recommend the first book to nearly everyone I know. I just went to her website and listened to her 3 minute update on her cancer. I've known many unnamed heroes that have battled cancer glorifying the Lord. Grace is on their lips, praise is in their hearts, and the things that God does in and through them are living testimonies of the power and reality of a Savior. But only those closest to them get to hear their testimonies. So I thought I'd post one of Joni's updates so you could taste and hear of God's goodness through her testimony.
