Subject: day one -- January 21, 2006

Things with work and the apartment are moving right along. I called the TEP people (electricity) yesterday and they told me that they would turn the electricity on for me Friday the 20th of January. I will move in on Saturday (YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!). I will be moving in a few of my things in on Saturday and the rest at a later time. My last day at the Primavera shelter will be Friday night/Saturday morning the 20th/21st. My case worker there at Primavera, Peter Gomez, is so excited and happy for me. He's been in my camp since the day we met about 6 weeks ago. He wished, like I, that I could have moved out sooner to the day I got my job but we both understand why that didn't happen. I will finally be able to stay through an entire Vespers service again also. While I was staying at the Primavera Men's Shelter I had to be back by 7p or my place would have been taken by somebody else. I have been at the Primavera place since I started the Jackson Employment program on Monday, November 21 (about 8-9 weeks). I have learned alot about focus while I've been living at Primavera. I kept my job and housing focus the entire time I was there. I had more than a few people there tell me that the Jackson program was a fraud and it doesn't work. I listened respectfully and didn't let their words hurt me. I believe there have been so many people praying for me to combat all the lies and half-truths that have fought against me during these last few months. Prayers do fight off evil. Thank you so much again for your prayers. It was quite a different life for me waking up everyday at Primavera at 5 am when they turn the lights on and coming back to stay in for the night at 7p each night. That is so different than what I had been doing previously. It gave me a lot of discipline and focus that I need though. I can't describe in words how happy I am right now. I give all the praise and glory to God. I know without his grace and guidance I wouldn't have made it, or for that case, making it now. I look forward to seeing all of you on Sunday and I'll be staying for the whole service and afterwards. Thank you God!
