Tabitha was a believer who was known for her devotion to others. This week we learn a little more about her and are challenged to emulate her devotion for others as well as celebrate our mothers and women who are influential in our lives.

Have you ever needed a second chance? We all do, of course, in many different areas of our lives. In John 21, we see Jesus giving Peter a second chance, but not just another chance to love Jesus, but a chance to rememeber Jesus' love for him.

There are times on our journey when we have doubts about a lot of things. Maybe we doubt what we think God is telling us to do or maybe even doubt our faith. God is with us through out doubts and loves us even when we are struggling.

We spend a lot of time thinking about the right thing to do, but sometimes we just need to do what we can do and not stress about it.
