Under the name Francis Lee, I write interracial Christian romantic suspense. My stories are about finding enduring love when hope and redemption seem unattainable as danger lurks around every corner. My characters learn that where there is darkness, "joy will always come in the morning".

For The Moment…18. Is there anything impossible for God?

He gives power to the faint

We all have limitations. There are places we cannot go and things we cannot do without supernatural help. We have the potential to exceed our imagination, but some things are impossible to do. However, with God, everything is possible. No one is greater than God. No one is like Him. He is God, the Holy One. His power is vast. He is infinite. The Creator who rides on the wings of the wind. Who called into existence things that did not exist. The One who loves us first when we are unable to love. The One who cannot deny himself because He is Love. (Matthew 19 verse 26, Jeremiah 32 verse 17, Genesis 18 verse 13)

9 to 5 Work…

If you could un-invent something, what would it be?

There must be an easier way to make a living. Wake up early, get ready for work, go to work crushed in traffic or on transit, get told off at work by clients, the boss, the backstabbing coworkers, inhale your lunch cause you have a mandatory last minute meeting, finish a long day worried you missed something important, get home exhausted, sleep through supper, then fall into bed to wake the next morning and do it all over again.

I love my job…

For The Moment …18 the After Life

As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied when I awake with thy likeness. Oh, death, where is thy sting? Oh grave, where is thy victory?

After life, there is life, which is an eternal life. Where will you spend eternity? Will it be in Hell with the Devil and his angels in a place where the fires are not quenched in torment forever? Or will you be in Heaven with God and His only begotten son? Jesus Christ, who came to die, was buried and rose again. This same Jesus who gave his life for you so that you can live forever in glory. Accept the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior and be saved from an eternity in Hell. Owing Jesus Christ as the Lord of your life is the only way to salvation and life after death. ( Psalm 17 verse 15, 1 Corinthians 15 verse 55)

I Was Not Forgotten

Can you share a positive example of where you’ve felt loved?

It was my birthday, a day at every turn that grew worse. By the end of the day, I did not want to celebrate but wanted to forget the day as quickly as possible in order to move on to the next.

I came home, and no one was there to greet me. No one to sing happy birthday so I could cry my tears of self-pity.

I went to bed without supper, thinking how I get to show them I don’t care.

Then, in the middle of the night, my sister woke me and pulled me into the living room.

Happy birthday.

They all remembered.

I cried. It was one of those milestone years (I am not telling which one) I never forgot. I cried because they not only remembered my day but also that special watch I asked for. OK. Maybe I nagged.

I love my family. I miss my parents but I have great memories. I am blessed. I count my blessings every chance I get.

For The Moment…16

The words preserve me are said a great deal throughout the Psalms. The meaning is simple; keep me safe from harm, daily demise, problems in society where I live, and even keep me safe from my wayward thoughts. I trust in the Lord.

Preserve me Lord for in thee do I put my trust.(Psalm 16 verse 1)

All In The Mind

Where can you reduce clutter in your life?

Clutter does not have to be only tangible things. It could be things that invade the mind and cause misery, depression and anxiety. These unwanted actors tend to breach places in the mind and cause dire havoc. Over time, they are hard to eradicate. To remove them is to pray and pray to the Lord with hope and sincerity, knowing he will send help to see you through.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord will save you from them all. (Psalm 33 verse 19)

For The Moment…15

He clears a path that is clear and bright. He guides when you can not see straight. He gives counsel when you are confused. And he assures you of his presence so you are not alone.

Fear not for I have redeemed thee, I have called you by my name; you are mine. (Isaiah 43 verse 1)

Dogs Are Great.

What is your favorite animal?

I love my little dogs because they are loyal and show love back without hesitation. They were created for our pleasure and companionship. They protect you. They follow you. They make you smile when things go south. They don’t even judge you. They are great creatures. I am sure cats are good too, but I am allergic.

For The Moment…15

Without faith, it is impossible to please God.

We are certain and believe in things we can not even see. (Hebrews 11 verse 1) Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
