Three & Me

Three and Me: A 31 Day Devotional is an intimate and grounded exploration of what it truly means to be a "Proverbs 31 woman" in the modern world. Written by Francine Duckworth, this devotional is designed for those who have ever felt overwhelmed by the biblical standard of the "virtuous woman" and felt they didn't measure up.

Embracing Imperfection with Grace

Rather than presenting Proverbs 31 as an impossible checklist of tasks to complete, Duckworth invites readers into her own life... the dirty dishes in the sink, lost keys, and misplaced wallets included. She reframes the biblical passage not as a demand for perfection, but as a description of a heart fully devoted to God. The core message is simple: a woman's worth is not found in her productivity, but in her reverence for the Lord.

A Journey Through Real-Life Faith

The devotional is built upon Duckworth's decades of experience serving God in diverse and often challenging environments:

· Missionary Life: Stories from eighteen years spent on the islands of American Samoa, where she learned to "smile at the future" even in the face of physical danger and cultural shock.

· Ministry in the Heartland: Reflections from pastoring in the Ozarks and rural Colorado, finding "divine appointments" in everyday places like laundromats and McDonald's.

Structure and Application

Each of the 31 days follows a consistent, easy-to-digest format:

· Scripture: Every day centers on a specific verse from Proverbs 31.

· Personal Narrative: A "lived-in" story that illustrates the biblical principle in action.

· Application: Practical steps and challenges to help readers integrate these truths into their daily routines.

Whether you are navigating the demands of a career, raising a family, or seeking to deepen your spiritual walk, this devotional serves as a warm, peer-to-peer reminder that God's love is not dependent on your perfection, and that He finds "little ol' you" worthy of praise.
