This past year, I have ravenously worked through Cynthia Heald's "Becoming a Woman of..." series. These books explore such topics as excellence, love, grace, faith, and so on. Each one speaks to me. But they are such lovely virtues, and my heart often struggles with such ugly vices. I need an "Unbecoming" series: topics that are unbecoming, and a guide that shows me how to 'unbecome' them.
Recently, the Lord has brought up these unbecoming issues in almost every area of my life: making them more obvious in my own behavior, illustrating them in talks and books, and illuminating Scripture that speaks to them. These topics - jealousy, judgement, rage, selfishness, resentment, and so on - are worth looking at, and I want to remember what I've found. And so I'll keep the record here. I hope that you, good reader, will find encouragement in my struggles, and find ways to avoid my mistakes. Enjoy. :-)
