My Cat Had Gastrointestinal Lymphoma: Saying Goodbye to Adah

By
On June 6, 2026, I lost my cat Adah. I'm still in shock, still crying on and off, and honestly still reaching for her out of habit. She was 8 years old and had been by my side for 7 of them. Writing this is hard, but I know it's something I need to do, because if you're searching for information about feline gastrointestinal lymphoma or trying to figure out what comes next after losing your cat, I want you to know you're not alone. I've been right where you are. Adah wasn't just a cat to me; she was like a daughter. She was the one who helped me survive losing my Maltese dog back in February 2019. I got her at the end of March that same year. She was actually my first cat ever. And somehow, without me even realizing it, she became the center of my world. I had no idea that choosing her would be one of the best decisions of my life or that letting her go would be one of the hardest. ⚡ Key Takeaways 🐱 Feline GI lymphoma is the most common c...

One Year Chronological Bible Review: Read the Bible in Story Order

By

My whole life, I've read the Bible in the order the books show up. Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, and so on, all the way to Revelation. That's how I learned it growing up in church, and it's how almost every reading plan I've tried works. So when I had the chance to pick a One Year Bible from the New Living Translation, I went with The One Year Chronological Bible . I wanted to see what the Bible feels like when you read it in the order things actually happened. I haven't started my year of reading yet. I'm saving it for January 1 so I can start at the very beginning. But I've spent time flipping through it, reading sample days, and figuring out how it works. Here's what's inside, who it's for, what bugged me a little, and why I'm still excited to start. Disclosure: I received this item free in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are 100% my own. ⚡ Key Takeaways 📖 The One Year Chronological Bible NLT arranges th...

Let It Be Me Review: 100 Devotions Inspired by Mary, Mother of Jesus

By

I grew up in church, and I still can't tell you much about Mary, the mother of Jesus. We'd hear her name at Christmas, see her in the nativity play, and then she'd pretty much disappear until next December. So when I got the chance to read Let It Be Me by Mary Aloe, a devotional built around Mary's life and her faith, I was curious what I'd been missing. Turns out, a lot. Here's what this book is, who it's for, the question a lot of readers will have before they buy it, and why it's earned a spot in my devotional rotation. Disclosure: I received this book free and was compensated in exchange for my honest review.

By

The first thing I said when I saw this book was "wow," out loud, to nobody.

I wanted to know if the inside actually helps on a hard day. Here's what's in it, who it's for, the questions people ask about breath prayer, and what happened when I opened it up.

Counting My Blessings Book Review: The Hit Song Is Now a Picture Book

By
Image
Some kids' books are cute for one read, and then they disappear under the bed. When I pulled Counting My Blessings by Seph Schlueter out of the package, I could tell right away this one was built to stick around. It's a big, flat picture book based on Seph's song of the same name, the one that's been all over Christian radio and probably your kid's tablet too. I don't have kids, but I've got a soft spot for books that teach little ones to notice good things. And this one has a stray cat in it, so it had me before I even turned the first page. Here's what's inside, who it fits, and whether it's worth adding to your shelf or your gift pile. Disclosure: I received this item free in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are 100% my own. ⚡ Key Takeaways 📖 Counting My Blessings is a 32-page hardcover picture book for kids ages 4 to 8, based on Seph Schlueter's hit worship song. 🙏 It teaches gratitude by sh...
