If you’re a woman who feels weary but longs to find your strength in the Word of God… you’re in the right place.
You feel overwhelmed. Life isn’t what you hoped it would be. It’s so much harder.
You want to trust God more and feel His presence in your life. You want to live with purpose. You want to be a good wife and a good mom. You have this one life to live. And I know you want to live it well. You can find peace today. All it takes is one small act of faith.
What would peace look like for you?
Gospel Centered & Purposeful Living

Let me show you how, through spiritual and practical application, you can become a modern Proverbs 31 Woman today.
Grace Filled Living | Perfection Not Required
Becoming a Proverbs 31 Woman isn’t about being perfect. It’s about living with purpose.
“But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:9

Hi there! My name is Melissa Ringstaff and I believe that being a Proverbs 31 Woman isn’t about being perfect. It’s about living life with purpose. I believe that God’s Word elevates the role of women and that Proverbs 31 is applicable to our modern lives. I understand what it’s like to dream of the perfect life. I also know what it’s like to always be striving for something that seems so elusive.
And I’m here to help.
Here at A Virtuous Woman you’ll find freedom from perfection and the confidence to live your life with purpose.
Simplify Your Day & Stop the Overwhelm
“She looketh well to the ways of her household.” Proverbs 31:27
Homemaking can feel overwhelming – there’s always so much to do! Planning ahead can really make a difference in how you go about your day as well as how well you maintain your home and family life. Our planning resources are here to help you simplify your day and plan for the week.
The Proverbs 31 Woman manages her home well.
However, that doesn’t mean she does everything by herself: it means she makes a plan, organizes her family, and delegates well.
Generally, people think of a “homemaker” as a woman who stays home full-time. And, while that may be true, I want to suggest that all women – whether they work outside the home or not – are called to be homemakers.
You see, families need women who make home a special place to live, learn, and grow. There is no other job that presents as many opportunities for shaping {for the good or the bad} the future of our country – of our world – than that of a homemaker.
Never stop believing that tomorrow will be better. That you do make a difference. That you matter.
The Ministry of Homemaking: 7 Day Email Challenge
“I just wanted to say how much I enjoy your emails. I struggled with being a new mom and feeling like I was struggling all the time. I felt like maybe I heard God wrong and I wasn’t cut out for motherhood. Then I came across your blog and I realized God didn’t call me to just be a mother. He called me to be a homemaker. I’m so grateful to you for helping me find my purpose and giving me the tools to be successful in our home. My goals are to be that home where everyone can get rest and feel loved. Thank you for your guidance.” – KarieReader Testimony
