March Reading Plan: Dandelion One-Year Themed Bible Reading Plan | Women’s Edition
A daily 15-minute devotional journey exploring wisdom, wholehearted devotion, bold witness, and the ultimate hope of the Bride of Christ. In March, we complete Esther’s story and move through Job’s integrity, Proverbs’ portrait of a noble woman, and the beauty of holy love in Song of Solomon. We then walk alongside Mary, Martha, the Samaritan woman, Mary Magdalene, and the vital female leaders of the early church—Lydia, Priscilla, Dorcas, Lois, and Eunice—ending with the glorious vision of the Bride in Revelation.

Welcome to March, Sister!
True beauty is found in a heart surrendered to God, anchored in His wisdom, and ablaze with love for Christ. From the quiet obedience of Mary to the energetic hospitality of Lydia and the tender devotion of Mary Magdalene, God weaves women into the very fabric of His redemption story.
This March, our journey carries us across four transformative themes:
Victory, Steadfastness, and Wise Womanhood (3/1 – 3/5): Celebrate Esther’s triumph, observe Job’s wife and the call to steadfast speech in suffering, and reflect on the building wisdom of Proverbs 14:1, the noble virtue of Proverbs 31, and the delight of divine love in Song of Solomon.
Surrender, Joy, and Motherhood: The Encounters in Luke (3/6 – 3/12): Walk with Mary through her courageous "Behold, the handmaid of the Lord," Elizabeth’s joy, Anna’s faithful worship in the temple, and Mary’s mothering heart as Jesus grows in wisdom.
Intimacy, Restoration, and Worship (3/13 – 3/21): Meet Jesus at Jacob’s well with the Samaritan woman, rest with Mary and Martha at Bethany, witness the resurrection of Lazarus, see Mary’s extravagant gift of perfume, and stand with Mary Magdalene as the first witness to the Risen Lord.
Kingdom Builders, Legacy, and the Eternal Bride (3/22 – 3/31): Discover the vital role of women in the early church—Dorcas' charity, Lydia's hospitality, Priscilla's teaching, and the intergenerational faith of Lois and Eunice—before fixing our eyes on the Bride of Christ in Revelation.
May the Word of God this month deepen your devotion, ignite your passion to share His love, and fill your spirit with eternal hope!
Key Themes for the Month:

First Witness of the Resurrection: See how Jesus honors Mary Magdalene's faithful love by entrusting her with the first proclamation of His victory over death (John 20:1–18).
