Francine writes:<\/p>\n

Before now, I\u2019d often considered writing a devotional, but I knew I wanted more than my limited view and personal insights. Tyndale graciously connected me with Karin Buursma, who has enriched my offering with hymns, quotes, reflections, and applications for connecting with God.<\/p>\n

I had worked with editors and agents who have offered much-needed advice and instruction, but I\u2019d never worked with a collaborator. Joining forces with Karin on Earth Psalms<\/em> <\/a>was a new experience, and a very pleasurable one.<\/p>\n

One of my greatest pleasures has been looking for lessons in nature. Sometimes the lessons don\u2019t make sense to anyone but me, but then, God does speak to each of us as individuals with our own needs. I think God points out things all the time if we\u2019re just willing to look and listen. I know He does it when I\u2019m in His Word. I may have read a particular passage countless times before, but then it pops out with new meaning under new circumstances. Imagine all the wonderful things we miss when we\u2019re constantly rushing through life.<\/p>\n

What I loved about working with Karin was the opportunity to concentrate on the subject of the earth psalm, whether it was a bird, animal, reptile, plant, or worm. (I read an entire book about worms! They\u2019re fascinating.) Anyway, I was searching for the lessons God had for me. Karin was able to broaden that focus and write enrichment questions that will have readers thinking more deeply about what lessons God has for them. She also added in additional information and hymns that enhanced the lessons. Now that all the work is done, I can go back and think about the questions Karin has presented. And those questions will also help me as I look for other earth psalms in the days ahead.<\/p>\n

Karin and I weren\u2019t the only ones working on this project. We were both blown away by the pictures Jennifer Ghionzoli found for the book. They show the glory of God\u2019s creation. And there is one particular picture that just makes me smile every time I look at it.<\/p>\n

If readers enjoy this devotional as much as I enjoyed writing my part of it, I hope I have the opportunity to work with these two amazing young women again.<\/p>\n
