The Lord is Near...


I went for my silent retreat at Blue Mountain Kelong at Riau Islands at the end of April 2016.  It was the same place that I went at the end of July 2010, five months after Bonny departed for Heaven.  It was a good time of reflection for me and reflecting on my grieving journey.  The sea was still as  blue as six years ago and the place was still the same except for some improvements made to the facility.  The pain of not having Bonny around was still there though less intense.  As I surrendered all to the Lord, He displayed two rainbows as a affirmation of my decision.  The Lord was very close to me and wanted me to enjoy His presence and find peace and purpose while I continued to remain here on earth.
