On a Drone Crash

Around half an hour after my previous post, I was overjoyed with the idea of meeting Mr Noisy Gong one day and was trying some fancy drone manoeuvres downstairs, but ended up in a crash three days after purchase.

As a worry-free five-year-old, this would normally break my heart, but the Holy Spirit comforted me and I wasn’t sad at all due to how the purchase unfolded three days ago, which I’m transcribing below.

*me rocking up to the DJI store in Piccadilly Circus planning to purchase the DJI MINI 4K Fly More Combo which costs £319 on the black Friday sale. The following conversation took place whilst I was waiting for a sales assistant and looking at the drone specs.

God: Go big or go home. DJI AIR 3S full package.

Me: Dude, I gotta eat! And only £1,900 left in the bank now (part of a £4,000 loan from a friend’s aunt) and it costs £1,400!!!

God: Go for it, make it rain.

Me: 🙄 Fine, as you wish my Lord. Hmm… should I get the 2-year insurance too. It’s my first drone and all.

Holy Spirit: Yes.

Me: 🙄🙄🙄

So I ended up paying £89 for the replacement, which should be ready in 2 weeks. Should give me enough time to work on project Peanut Butter Jelly Part 2. 😬

My bank balance is below £50 again, but the Lord sent help yesterday via a refund from KCL for the £1,000 payment I made back in mid-August when KCL credit control was chasing me for £13,000 overdue tuition fees. It was all that I could afford at the time and it will surely help. Thanks Boss. 🙏🫶😘

[10] fear not, for I am with you;

be not dismayed, for I am your God;

I will strengthen you, I will help you,

I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

[2] He said,

“The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,

[3] my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,

my shield, and the horn of my salvation,

my stronghold and my refuge,

my savior; you save me from violence.

Israel’s Only Savior

[1] But now thus says the LORD,

he who created you, O Jacob,

he who formed you, O Israel:

“Fear not, for I have redeemed you;

I have called you by name, you are mine.

[2] When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;

and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;

when you walk through fire you shall not be burned,

and the flame shall not consume you.
