Last night Doña Oneyda and I had the privilege of standing up with Yajaira as her family as she choose to dedicate her four year old daughter Juli to the Lord. I got a chance to talk to Juli afterwards because she is smart as a whip for a four year old and I knew that she could understand the basics of what this meant...
It was a really sweet time, especially knowing the cost that it took for Yajaira to make this decision. Coming from a very works-based church background, it has taken a long time for her to really recognize and understand God's grace towards her and her need for that in her life. Dedicating Juli in this particular church meant admitting that she is also ready to follow Jesus with her whole heart and accept His love and grace. And we were honored to be her family and stand beside her!
