Abigail & Sugar

Brothers,  join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk  according to the example you have in us.  For  many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you  even with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ.   Their end is destruction,  their god is their belly, and  they glory in their shame, with  minds set on earthly things.   But  our citizenship is in heaven, and  from it we  await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,     who will transform  our lowly body  to be like his glorious body,  by the power that enables him even  to subject all things to himself. Philippians 3:17-21 Once again, I'm so sorry for not blogging this past week. I was at D-Camp, which is a camp where my church and a bunch of our sister churches have a camp for middle-schoolers and we get to know each other and God more. The Bible verse above was actually the theme for it. Camp was super fun by the...

"Therefore, do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." Matthew 6:34 Hey guys! I hope all of y'all had a great week. This past week for me was pretty fun. I went to a friend's birthday party sleepover, swam a bunch, and cleaned out my closet. Anyway, as you can tell from the title, today's post is about dog tips. If any of y'all have dogs, I hope you find this post helpful! Tips Be prepared if you get a new dog. Always make sure you have the things your dog will need when you get them. With our dog Piper, we found her at the Poodle Rescue of Houston the day she arrived We asked about the adoption process and the guy there said we can come back the next weekend and we can adopt her then. (she needed to be checked out by the vet) So in that week leading up to the adoption, we got all the supplies we needed! But these were special circumstances. The guy there said we would be the...

"Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised." Proverbs 31:30 Hey guys! Hope y'all all had a great Independence Day (if you live in America)! This past week I had 2 sleepovers which were both really fun and we got to do fireworks for July 4th! On the other days, everything else was pretty uneventful. As you can tell from the title, today's post is about why my blog is called Abigail and Sugar. If you know know me pretty well or scroll way back in my posts, you'll probably know what the meaning is. But you might not know the entire story. So today I am going to explain that from the very beginning... In the summer of 2010, my family went on vacation to California. One day we went to the San Diego Zoo and got to see lots of animals. When we were about to leave, my parents let my sister and me pick out one souvenir each. Of course, being so young, we went and looked at the stuffed animals. We both chose a polar bear ...

"Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." Ephesians 4:31-32 Hey guys! By the way, I'm so sorry I didn't blog last week. I was in New Orleans on a short term missions trip with my youth group. We worked with an organization called Kaleo Missions. And that is my topic for today's post. Here's what happened: Sunday: Left church at 11 for a 6 hour road trip with our youth minister and intern and 9 other youth, stopped for lunch at Raising Cane's a third of the way in, stopped for gas two thirds in, and then arrived in New Orleans. Confession time: We were a little late because we stopped for boba at Kung Fu Tea before arriving at the church we were staying at(Kelsey and Caitlyn- if you're reading this, we're sorry!). Then we met the interns there (which were really nice) and had dinner. After t...
