Yesterday was my birthday. It was also the day that I moved to a different cell block...
Although, in a way, one could say that the move was merely coincidental, I saw it as a gift from God. I needed a change of environment, and I had been praying for it. And after several months of quiet waiting, yesterday afternoon an officer informed me that I was being ordered to go to the D-North housing unit. At the time, I had been living in D-South.
D-North and D-South are both a part of the prison’s "general population." But because I have returned to working as a "mobility guide" for the sight-impaired men, by relocating to D-North I can now be with these psychically handicapped men all the time. In addition, I could continue to work during the afternoons as a "Program Assistant" at the facility’s Intermediate Care Program (E-North).
As of this moment, however, most of my belongings are still in boxes and bags. I have a lot more cleaning to do before I finish unpacking.
And having to pack, move, and then unpack is exhausting. Nevertheless, I rejoice because my prayers were answered, and on my birthday too. In addition, a second prayer was also answered. For when I got the notice that I was going to a new location, I asked the Lord for the miracle of "paint." But this is another story which I plan to write about tomorrow.
