the end of a chapter .. the start of another?

Bruce has officially stopped helping out at SKIN.
Today, his colleagues threw him a farewell party ...
I remember how excited & honoured we both felt when he was first asked to help out.
Somehow... the time he was there seems long, yet it also feels short ...
As his fiancee, I too, like him, have mixed feelings about this new transition of his.

Relieved & happy
For the past 6 months while he's been at the store, his schedule has been very hectic.
Mon - work + sales meeting (till abt 9pm)
Tues - work + leaders meeting (till ard midnight)
Wed - work + part-time (till ard 11pm)
Thurs - work + part-time (till ard 11pm)
Fri - work + CG (till ard 11pm)
Sat - part-time (10+ am till 11pm)
Sun - Service
As of late, this lifestyle is really beginning to take a toll on him...
He's constantly so tired.
Watching him work so hard makes my heart ache...
At the same time, we are mindful that it is such a great honour & opportunity to be part of the team that's making history.
For this we are ever so thankful!

Sentimental
Bruce has made great friends in his course of helping out at the store.
People he never thought he'll cross paths with....
What kept him going and enjoying every bit of his work there are these great people-- Geri, Eugene, Alan, Alvin, Serene, Andrea, Amanda, Ryan, not forgetting our beloved Sis Lillian ....
Bruce once told me his colleagues at SKIN are all leaders in the way they work!
I believe their friendship will go a long way ..
He is going to miss the special moments they shared working & having fun together!

I believe there are different seasons God leads us into to prepare us for our destiny!
Helping out at the store has made Bruce a more confident person...
Helped me become a more willing and patient person ...

The END of a chapter is always the START of another!
We're excited to what God has in store for us in the coming days.....
What? We do not know.
But we know we are in His good hands...
