"We're all looking for two things mainly: security and significance. We want to be secure in who we are, and we want to know that what we do is significant, and that can't be found in clothes, make-up, or a style of car that you drive, the kind of school that you attend. Those things can only be found in Christ. When we know who we are in Christ, then our significance is anchored in Him and everything we do can have meaning." –Joni Eareckson Tada

(Nashville, TN)—Last summer, Joni Eareckson Tada was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent successful surgery in order to treat it.

In an interview with Joni at the National Religious Broadcasters convention in Nashville, TN, I caught up with Joni and her husband Ken to talk about how she coped with the diagnoses, and about two new books she has written.

I asked her how she was doing; Joni told me: "Yes, I'm doing remarkably well, and I'm sure that's to the credit of God's people for praying." (ASSIST News Photo by Dan Wooding)

"I went through surgery for stage three breast cancer last summer and went through a rigorous time of chemo therapy, but that's several months behind me now and the pet scans are all clear—no evidence of any metastasized cancer in my body. So the doctors' reports are extremely optimistic for the future, so I'm looking forward to getting back to a normal schedule—a travel schedule, a work schedule, and trusting that God's hand of healing will continue to rest upon me," she said.

Joni smiled when I suggested that one of the things those who know Joni can say is that she really does depend on the Lord, "and that shines through so wonderfully," and that she is "the prime example of somebody who really trusts and depends on the Lord."
