Hello!

to God be the glory
In end 2007, Sparked Movement was born as an answer to a calling to make a difference in MGS. We are a group of past and present girls who has a simple and humble aim of spreading His love to the entire MG community through simple ways, praying that He would work through them. Throughout the year 2008, we've been trying to reach out by making little gifts for everyone in the MG community.
In 2009, God has been moving tremendously in our hearts and lives to return to this dream He has placed us with one year ago. So we are back - with a new and refreshed vision! It is our hope and one desire for all in the MG family to see and experience God in a new dimension.

Welcome to our blog, made with much love for our God (for the glory of the Lord), and for you. (:

Rejoice
'Cause "God is love"; 'Cause He'll never leave us nor forsake us; Because He will come (Hosea 6:3) "Let us acknowledge the LORD; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth."

Please do feel free to share your prayer requests, thanksgiving, or testimonies with us yea! Any queries as well (could leave a tag too?)
The 8 of us can be contacted at:
sparked.movement@gmail.com

We look forward to hearing from you! God loves you, remember!
All testimonies and thanksgivings (whenever appropriate) will be posted on this blog. Responses to sharings and prayer requests as well, so do return to this site often! :)
"Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." (Galatians 6:2)


In loving arms
Currently, our main aim is to reach out to those within the MG family (but we will constantly listen out for His voice and go to where we've been called to) We thank God for this opportunity He's given us to reach out to all of you MG girls, past, present (and future! ;)). It's our prayer for the passion of Christ to be ignited within you, the hunger for God to grow, the love of our Heavenly Father to be shared with each and every member of the MG family (and others around you too, of course). :)

Perhaps you're hurting deep within, perhaps you need to find a way out from the dark pit you've fallen into (God makes a way, even when there seems to be no way!) Maybe you feel as though God has abandoned you and you keep asking an age-old question: "how can God allow such suffering to happen to me or those whom I love?" Perhaps you've heard (or are hearing) a calling from God, perhaps you yearn to love Him, perhaps you earnestly want to seek Him and let God be (your) God in your precious life.

God loves you all the same, no matter how much joy or sorrows (which in actual fact, can be traded in for joy, because Jesus died on the cross for all of us and OVERCAME death - how's that!) you've got. You're worthy of His love, you're worth us spending time talking (or if you'd prefer, chatting) to, to care for and love (as a sister in Christ).
You could be afraid of the implications of having to share your problems with someone else. But hey, fret not. No names will be mentioned on the blog, and every email/message we receive will be kept confidential within the team. This could very well be an open door God is setting before you today, because He knows your heart and your needs so so well, more than anyone else.

Cheers. In Him, we're one and eternally victorious!


He reigns,


Over all the earth

TGFE

Often a time, we see people use the abbreviation - TGIF aka Thank God It's Friday. And yes, every week after a tiresome week long of school, I too often go "woohoo, TGIF!". Indeed, thank God it's Friday! But why is it only on Fridays that we exclaim out that phrase? Why is it that we never see people go TGIM/TGIT/TGIW etc.? We usually say TGIF because the weekend has arrived and rest awaits us, am i right? And also, we thank God for bringing us through the week. But why only proclaim our thanksgiving on Friday? I suggest we thank God everyday, for everything. Like literally, everything. It doesn't mean we only thank God when our apparent "good" things befall upon us and carry a heavy heart when we are put through suffering. At the toughest times, we should remain thankful.

For example, when your mother is nagging at you to go study, revise, tuition whatnot. Do not resent such a situation but instead face it with a heart of thanksgiving, thankful for even having a mother stand before you and nag at you, a mother who painstakingly brought you up. Or when you're done with your school work, it's 2am and you have to wake up at 6 for school. Don't bat your eyelids and wish there wasn't school. Instead, thank God that you have school to attend, an opportunity for a future, thankful that you're one of the top 10% of kids in the world who have the chance to attend school while others slog out in the fields or are forced to slave with their only hope for education unconceivable.

The night before promo results were released, I was fretting, panicking, foolishly not trusting enough in God. I sat at my computer and told God, "God, grant me comfort and peace." Soon after, I visited a blog of one of my friends and there was a youtube video on 2 Ugandan children. [Go check it out: type "Sam and Esther" on youtube]. Somehow, I was drawn to the video and as it delved deeper into the video, by the 3rd minute, I was bawling my eyes out. It simply magnified the many blessings around me, the hope that awaits me. After that video, there almost seemed no worry in me because it struck me that I should be thankful for whatever results I achieve. Be it above/below/on par with my expectations, it didn't matter any more. I felt just so thankful that night that I even had the opportunity to sit for my promos, to be in school, to be sitting in a sheltered room (in comfort) fretting over promos. I realised that you can only fully enjoy life when you are thankful and appreciate every little bit of it.

So to those facing one of the greatest adversities of life, remember to look at life with an unfailing heart of thanksgiving. Just like what Colossians 2:7 says "strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness." Remember to never forget to thank God for all things that He has blessed you with. It's tough to be thankful especially when you're in a dire situation, but remember when you fill your hearts with thanksgiving, you see the hope in life, or more likely, His hope for you in life. So yes, lets exercise what LoveMG09 has taught us - REJOICE! Rejoice and be grateful for all that He has done for you. :)

Take care & God bless,
Diane

In His love (:
