WOULDN'T BE HERE.
EVEN IF I WERE HERE WITHOUT HIM,
I WOULDN'T HAVE ANY PEACE WITH

WE MISS OUT ON THE GREATEST
RELATIONSHIP WE CAN POSSIBLY
HAVE YOU WERE CREATED BY HIM AND
CREATED WITH ONE PURPOSE TO HAVE
A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.
THAT WAS HIS IDEA.
IT WAS HIS DREAM THAT YOU AND I
WOULD BE IN A GARDEN TOGETHER
AND COME DOWN IN THE COOL OF THE
EVENING JUST TO TALK WITH US.
HE WOULD PROVIDE ALL HIS NEED
ACCORDING TO HIS RICHES AND
GLORY AND DID IT ALL JUST TO
KNOW US AND WE WOULD KNOW HIM.
HE CREATED ETERNITY IN OUR
HEARTS, HE GAVE US ETERNITY SO
WE COULD KNOW HIM AND KNOW HIM
INTIMATELY IN A WORLD THAT JUST

YOU CAN EVEN FILL IT UP WITH
WORK.
YOU CAN NEVER FILL IT UP, THOSE

YOU ARE REAL, IF YOU REALLY MADE
ME, IF YOU REALLY LOVED ME,
COULD YOU COME INTO MY HEART
COULD YOU SHOW UP FOR ME COULD

ALL IT TAKES, ALL IT TAKES IS
FOR YOU TO CONFESS YOUR SINS,
TURN AWAY FROM THEM HE WILL BE
FAITHFUL AND JUST AND FORGIVE
YOU AND CLEANSE YOU FROM ALL
UNRIGHTEOUSNESS.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TURN TO
HIM.

TERRY: YOU REALLY, REALLY
SUFFERED FOR A LONG TIME, DEEPLY
SUFFERED WITH SEVERE INSECURITY.
WHAT WAS THE ROOT OF THAT?
I ALWAYS SAY BEAUTY IS A
PERCEPTION ISSUE, IT IS NOT A
REFLECTION ISSUE.
MY FIRST MEMORY OUTSIDE OF THE
HOME.
FIRST MEMORY OUTSIDE OF THE HOME
WAS SEXUAL.
IT OVERSHADOWED THE ENORMOUS
AMOUNT OF GOOD.
TERRY: DID YOU ALWAYS KNOWN
THAT?
DID YOU KNOW IT WAS CONNE
THIS CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCE?
IT WASN'T CONSCIOUS AT ALL.
I THOUGHT WHY DID I HATE MYSELF.
I HAD TO MAKE SURE I LOOKED AS
PERFECT AS POSSIBLE AT ALL
TIMES.
I HAD TO DIVERT THE MASSES FROM
SEEING THE DISASTER IN MY HEART0
IF YOU SEE IT, YOU WILL(0 REJE
ME.
TERRY: WHAT WAS YOUR LOWEST
POINT?
A LOT OF LOW POINTS, DEALING
WITH DEPRESSION, ADDICTION,
ALCOHOL, EATING DISORDERS.
I WAS IN COLLEGE.
I CALLED MY DAD.
I WAS A BELIEVER AT THIS POINT.
I LOVED GOD, BUT I DIDN'T
BELIEVE HE COULD EVER LOVE ME IN
THE PLACES OF MY DEEPEST SHAME.
DAD, I WILL NEVER KILL MYSELF, I
DON'T HAVE THE ENERGY, I DON'T
HAVE THE ENERGY TO KEEP ON
LIVING.
HE CAME THROUGH THE NIGHT AND
RESCUED ME AND PULLED ME OUT.
I WENT TO TREATMENT FOR MY
EATING DISORDER.
TERRY: DID THAT ALLOW YOU TO
EXPLORE THOSE SHAMEFUL PLACES?
ABSOLUTELY.
I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND.
ALL I KNEW IS THAT I HAD
TERRIBLE BEHAVIORS.
I WAS ADDICTED TO FOOD.
FOOD IS THE CHRISTIAN DRUG.
I WOULD BINGE EAT AND STARVE
MYSELF.
I WAS JEALOUS AND A GOSSIP.
ALL THESE BAD FRUITS.
I WONDERED WHY WOULD THEY KEEP
GROWING BACK.
HEART OF THE MATTER WAS THAT
BELIEVED MORE THAN I BELIEVED
THE SKY WAS BLUE, I WAS UNWORTHY
OF LOVE.
IT WAS ALLOWING THE FATHER'S
LOVE INTO THE PLACES OF MY
DEEPEST PLACES THAT HEALED ME
AND NATURALLY THE FRUIT OF MY
LIFE CHANGED.
I STARTED LOOKING AT MYSELF IN
THE MIRROR000 AND GOING YOU ARE
ACTUALLY BEAUTIFUL.
I COULD SEE IT BECAUSE I WAS8 x
LOVED.
TERRY: YOU EVENTUALLY MET
YOUR HUSBAND AND THE TWO OF YOU
MARRIED.
YOU WERE STRUGGLING A LITTLE
BIT.
TELL ME ABOUT HOW GOD00 USEDXX
HUSBANDXX TO HELPXéX YOU IN THE0
PHASES?0
I CALL HIM STUD HUB.
WE WERE WATCHING TV.
I WOULD BINGE TO CONTROL FOOD TO
FEEL A SENSE OF CONTROL.
FINANCES WERE OUT OF CONTROL AND
CIRCUMSTANCES, BUT I COULD
BINNEN
BINNEN BINGE AND FEEL EUPHORIC.
I AM IN THE FRIDGE AND I HEAR
SOMEBODY BEHIND ME.
I FREEZE BECAUSE I AM CAUGHT.
I TURN AROUND.
HE HAS THE BIGGEST SMILE ON HIS
FACE.
HE POPS OPEN A BAG OF CHIPS, HE
SAYS BABY, IF YOU NEED TO BINGE,
I DON'T WANT YOU TO DO IT ALONE.
I AM GOING TO BINGE WITH YOU.
HE HAD SEEN ME IN THE PLACE I
BELIEVED COULD NEVER BE LOVED
AND NOT ONLY HAD HE LOVED ME, HE
CRAWLED DOWN THERE TO BE THERE
WITH ME.
THAT WAS WHAT THE FATHER DID FOR
ME AND WITH ME EVERY SINGLE DAY
OF MY LIFE.
HE CRAWLED DOWN INTO THE PIG
PEN.
HE GETS IN THOSE PLACES, NOT
ONLY WILL I LOVE YOU, I WILL
STAY WITH YOU AND LOVE YOU INTO
WHOLENESS.
TERRY: THAT÷ BRINGS US÷ TOZ

JENNIFER WISHON, SHE SHARES HER
MOST PERSONAL FEARS AS SHE FACES
A NEW CHALLENGE, SURVIVING
BREAST CANCER.
JONI EARECKSON TADA IS ONE OF
THE WORLD'S LEADING CHRISTIAN
DISABILITIES ADVOCATES.
DIVING ACCIDENT AT THE AGE OF 17
PARALYZED HER FROM THE SHOULDERS
DOWN.
SHE STARTED THE JONI AND FRIENDS
DISABILITY CENTER AS A THOSE
FACING SIMILAR CHALLENGES.úp 88
DOCTORS0 DIAGNOSED HER WITH STAE
THREE BREAST CANCER.
I AM A SPINAL COURT INJURED
QUADRIPLEGIC FOR 45 YEARS,
CANCER NEVER ENTERED MY
THINKING.
IT WAS A SHOCK.
LITTLE DID I REALIZE ONE OUT OF
EVERY EIGHT WOMEN WILL GET
BREAST CANCER. @
SHE DECIDED TO DOCUMENT HER
STORY WITH THE HOPE OF HELPING
OTHERS.
I REMEMBER WHEN IT STARTED
HAPPENING, GOD, GIVE ME A BREAK,
I MEAN FOUR DECADES IN A
WHEELCHAIR, DON'T I GET A LITTLE
REPRIEVE HERE?
DON'T I GET TIME OFF.
FURTHER TESTS REVEALED CANCER
AND SPREAD TO LIMP NODES.
FLUSH
IT MADE ME FRIGHTENED.
FOR ONE THING I AM MARRIED.
MY HUSBAND OF 30 YEARS, WHAT
WILL HE SAY?
A QUESTION IN ALMOST ANY
CANCER DIAGNOSIS, WHAT IF I HAD
KNOWN SOONER?
IT HAD BEEN NINE YEARS SINCE MY
LAST EXAM.
I THINK WE WOULD HAVE CAUGHT
IT SOONER.
STAGE THREE BREAST CANCER IS
PRETTY SCARY, PERHAPS IT WOULD
ONLY HAVE BEEN ONE OR TWO HAD I
HAD THE MAMMOGRAM SOONER.
WOMEN AGE 20-39 UNDERGO A
CLINICAL BREAST EXAM EVERY THREE
YEARS, OVER 40, EVERY YEAR AND
ANNUAL MAMMOGRAM.
HER QUADRIPLEGIC COMPLICATED
TREATMENT.
BECAUSE OF HER DISABILITY, HER
LUNGS ARE FRAGILE, BONES
INCREDIBLY THIN.
AFTER PRAYER AND ADVISE FROM
DOCTORS, SHE DECIDED TO STOCK
CHEMOTHERAPY.
MY LIFE IS A MATTER OF
BALANCING COMPETING RISKS.
WHAT IS GOING TO ENABLE ME TO
LIVE THE LONGEST WITH THE BEST
QUALITY OF LIFE POSSIBLE.
YES, THERE IS A RISK MY CANCER
WILL RETURN.
AS A QUADRIPLEGIC, I WOULD
RATHER BE ABLE TO SIT UP IN A
WHEELCHAIR AND BREATHE AND THE
STRENGTH AND STAMINA TO FACE MY
DAYS.
JONI GET HER THOUGHTS
FOCUSSED ON THE LORD, NOT THE
CANCER.
I BEGAN TO SEE CANCER WOULD
ONLY WIN IF I FAILED TO CHERISH
JESUS CHRIST.
I WAS ABLE TO LIVE IN THE
PRESENT, NOT WALLOW IN THE PAST.
NOT BE FILLED WITH THOUGHTS OF
REGRET, WHY DIDN'T I GET A
MAMMOGRAM?
THERE IS SPECIAL JOE AND COURAGE
IN BEING ABLE TO LIVE IN THE
MOMENT.
TODAY JONI IS HAPPY AND
HEALTHY.
IT COULD TAKE UP TO SEVERAL
YEARS TO DECLARE SOMEONE
OFFICIALLY CANCER.
IN THE MEANTIME SHE IS THANKFUL
TO BE A LIVING TESTIMONY TO
GOD'S FAITHFULNESS.
WHEN PEOPLE SEE US SMILE IN
THE MIDST OF PAIN, THEY WILL
LOOK AT US AND THINK HER GOD
MUST BE PRETTY GREAT TO INSPIRE
THAT LOYALTY.
THAT IS AMAZING SHE CAN SMILE IN
THE MIDST OF AFFLICTION.
I NEED HER JOY.
WHAT A RICH TESTIMONY THAT IS.
