"I remember sitting in my lobby, looking around at the other middle-aged women the first time I got tested for breast cancer, and I thought, 'I'm just a fat old cliché, I'm just another statistic,'" she told The Gospel Herald in an exclusive interview.

"And then, it hit me - the only thing special about me is Jesus. I realized - Jesus is enough," she continued. "That, to this day, makes me cry. I sat there flipping through my Bible, and I was impressed by the reality that God's Word is real, it's comforting, and it's very powerful. That's what got me through my battle."

Today, Jackson is cancer-free, and shares her story of faith and perseverance in her new book, "Lavender Hair; 21 Devotions for Women with Breast Cancer."

"Thanks to God, I'm now healthy, I'm fine," she said. "When I was lying in bed with chemo and very weak, I remember thinking, 'I know God can make something beautiful out of this; He makes beauty out of ashes.' So, I kept this journal of my thoughts, and turned it into a book."

The title, "Lavender Hair", is an homage to Jackson's husband, who, when her hair grew back in, referred to it as "lavender" instead of "grey."

"He was trying to make me feel pretty, which was so cute, because cancer isn't pretty," she shared. "I got inspired and turned that into a song, and then into the name of my book. Also, when I was bald, I was trying to figure out what head covering to wear, but turbans made me look like a psychic fortune teller. I ended up just wearing wigs of all colors - purple, pink, lavender - the wigs I wore brought joy into every situation."
