3... 2... 1... BOOM!!!

Today was the first team meeting for MEET Thailand. Just have to say that i am very thankful to God for everyone on the team, be they trippers or sups (random aside: MEET sup sounds like meat soup *bak kut teh, anyone?*), i definitely do believe that it is the Lord who has appointed it such that we all are where we are, so nvm stuff like still having a lingering desire for the Philippines, or unease over whether i'll be able to make it for the full AnnTICamp, cos i know that whatever happens He is ultimately sovereign, and His ways are higher than mine, so we'll just see how He leads...

Also very thankful for His prompting for me to go for cell instead of just heading back home for some ineffective and meaningless mugging. This not in the least because of one way that the Lord has answered my prayers regarding MEET and church in a way immesurably more than i could ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20). Shall elaborate more another time, but just to say now that i am very humbled at this gracious act on the part of the cell-u-lights. The Lord indeed is our Jehovah Jireh.

Went to play sparkles at the field behind church (and my house too) after that, and two rockets, Cell-u-lights One and Two were born, using bundles of sparkles and some electrical tape. However, both met their demise rather swiftly, Cell-u-lights One rather anticlimactically, with it falling flat on its side instead of launching upwards, and Cell-u-lights Two rather over-climactically, with it going off with a very loud BOOM!!! (so much so that it could be heard thirty or so metres away inside an air-conditioned room) and, instead of exploding in a large flash high above our heads, making an abrupt ninety-degree turn right in our direction and darting at what seemed to be the speed of light for a good six or seven metres towards us, landing in a bright white flash right in front of our feet, to the screams of many and the fleeing of all... You must see the video, it's super farny, could win the top prize in America's Funniest Home Videos =P... Glad that at least it didn't make it's way to my house's rooftop, or lagi better, the church's, talk about a church on fire...

Anyway, just to say that i love my dear cell-u-lights. Shine on, you spiritual fatties...
