QUOTES

Juanita: "Sometimes I tell people a white lie that I'm God's favorite but he doesn't have any favorites. But I am so blessed just by the way he shows up."

Juanita: "I want to ensure that I'm not exploited ever again. But I want to protect other children and so I believe that despite the negatives, despite the effects it had on me, the Lord has allowed me to use my story."

Juanita: "For the last 10 years, I've been living like a Luke chapter 10 Christian. I've traveled the world for 10 years without a paid job, I've never worked illegally, and the Lord has provided so much. So for me, knowing how real he is and seeing him show up consistently, it's not easy obeying. But as my pastor said, it's a lot harder to disobey."
