Hello!(:
So, this is the very first post of this very pretty blog! It seems almost unreal to be posting here, because something that has been a dream for very long is actually HERE, right now! I cannot say how joyful I am now, and how many thankyous I want to say to our God because they are simply uncountable! Without Him, this would be absolutely impossible. I am not sure what I'm suppose to be posting on the first post (a lot of pressure here heh), but perhaps i'll take this opportunity to elaborate a little more on what has been written in the little circle at the top!
Around Nov 2007, I was at my youth service and there was a guest speaker who was talking about making a (Godly) difference in our schools. He gave an example of a group of girls belonging to a particular secondary school (shan't name schools here!) who made little cards displaying the message of God's love and gave it out to random students in the school! Somehow, God really spoke through that and I thought "If a non mission school could do it, why can't a mission school have such people daring to make such a difference?" So that was the beginning of this little organization we now call Sparked Movement. We don't know if you remember - but in 2008 we made little cards and bookmarks and left it on the class tables and pigeon holes :) Its okay if you don't, because we think plenty didn't!
In 2009, many of us graduated and although we did come back to give out another bookmark in feb, we subconciously forgot about this movement due to the busyness and excitement of settling down in our various new schools. God didn't forget however, and through certain events that happened, He moved once again in our hearts to convict us to come back together and start this all over again.
So, what are we doing now? Are we back to making little gifts for you all again? Well to a certain extent yes, but this time its through LOVEMG: MG REJOICE! We wanted to do the same theme (rejoicing) as them and somehow along the way... God brought us to contribute to the LoveMG event itself! What exactly are we doing and how we're doing it is secret for now.. so you have to come! :D Ever since we've entered into the LoveMG picture, its been such a journey of faith - full of miracles, promises, hope and love. As you should know, LoveMG was postponed and I assure you, much good and testimonies testifying of His love has come out of it! :)
Okay you may be wondering how does this blog link up to LoveMG. We pray and hope that this blog would be an extention of the event, because it is here where we continue rejoicing in His name as an MG family! Posts that would hopefully speak to you will be up, and so will testimonies from ourselves and YOU (see right hand column for more details) will be posted up too! Isn't that exciting!! We've recognized that there is a hunger & desperation for God in MGS, and so we sincerely hope that this blog would encourage us all past and present MG girls as we run this race Christ has laid out for us. And, that this place would reflect on how God is so real to us in our daily lives. That can happen in your life too you know?(:
Also, we are opening up our email for you to send your prayer requests so that we can pray for you! Hurts, sorrows, emo-ness is something that many of us go through and we want to be praying for you! So don't be afraid, and just drop us an email anytime okay? More details on the right hand column too!
For now, the 8 of us are just really excited for LoveMG because we are sure it will be an amazing night where His presence will be SO real! So (okay publicity time),
DO COME FOR LOVEMG, 6PM, 24TH JUL'09!
We promise, it'll be an amazing night. Come, discover God and join in us truly rejoicing :)
And on behalf of the rest of the team, WELCOME (: to the Sparked Movement blog! I hope this post hasn't been too long and boring haha. Spread this link to as many of your MG friends, because this blog is simply meant for all of you! As an MG family, let us come together to share His love and faithfulness through the Electronic way! Honestly, with most of us staring at this delightful screen belonging to the invention called the computer almost everyday, what better way is there to share and rejoice together all the time?
Much of His love and mine,
Tiffany
