If I had to choose a Bible verse that best decribes Juliana on our Mayan journey, I would choose Colossians 3:12–14 (MSG):

So, chosen by God for this new life of love, dress in the wardrobe God picked out for you: compassion, kindness, humility, quiet strength, discipline. Be even-tempered, content with second place, quick to forgive an offense. Forgive as quickly and completely as the Master forgave you. And regardless of what else you put on, wear love. It’s your basic, all-purpose garment. Never be without it.

This is exactly how Juliana dressed.  She approached the Mayan girls with compassion, kindness and love just like Jesus demonstrated.  Juliana kept it simple.  She was herself and didn’t worry about a language barrier.  For her, love was the common bond.  It was all that was necessary.  And the little Mayan girls responded.

Whether Juliana was painting faces, making balloon shapes, washing feet, or just hanging out, God used Juliana’s sweetness to make a connection with the village girls.
