"God sets the solitary in families; He brings out those who are bound into prosperity; But the rebellious dwell in a dry land." Psalm 68:6 (New King James Version)
What a beautiful time I had tonight and two weeks ago spending time with other Christians! I have been back in the U.S. for three weeks now and I haven't experienced so much cultural shock as I have spiritual shock. As far as the culture goes I still feel like I'm in Peru because I spend most of my time with my family who are Peruvians. But I have missed the constant contact and fellowship with other Christians that I had serving the Lord as a full time missionary with Koinonia. It is a sharp contrast and something I took for granted. I felt like I was in a dry land until God led me to these oases (plural of oasis). We are parts of body that can not survive for long not connected to the body.
"Dios hace habitar en familia a los desamparados; Saca a los cautivos a prosperidad; Mas los rebeldes habitan en tierra seca." Salmos 68:6 (Reina-Valera 1960)
Que bonita noche pase ahorra y hace dos semanas con otros cristianos! He estado en mi pais por tres semanas y no experimentado tanto el golpe cultural como el golpe espiritual. En cuanto la cultura me siento como todavia estoy en Peru porque paso casi todo mi tiempo con mi familia y ellos son Peruanos. Pero he extranado el contacto continuo con otros cristianos que he tenido mientras servia el Senor tiempo completo con Koinonia. El contraste es fuerte. Senti como estaba en una tierra seca hasta que Dios me ha llevado ha estas oases (la forma plural de oasis). Somos partes del cuerpo que no pueden sobrevivir mucho tiempo desconnectado del cuerpo.
