Tainted Mirror An Anthology (2007)
Whether restricted by prison walls, the influence of others or held hostage by self-inflicted limitations, captivity starts in the mind. We allow our thoughts to create virtual restrainers that stifle our dreams and hinder our purpose.
Based on I Corinthians 13:12, Tainted Mirror An Anthology will offer stories of hope and healing to overcome the mental, physical, and emotional strongholds that keep us from fulfilling our destiny.
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
~ I Corinthians 13:12

Today, I prayed and thought of you, and the Lord led me to see that you could use a word of encouragement and rest.
"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me?watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly."
Matthew 11:28-30 - The Message (MSG)
