Loved Beyond Measure

Loved Beyond Measure

Janis Van Keuren

“I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you.” Jeremiah 31:3 ESV The alarm interrupted my morning slumber, and seconds later hubby was nudging me to crawl out of bed. Even though I had eagerly anticipated our women’s retreat, the temptation to just stay in bed after a long and tiring week was pulling me back under the covers. Once my feet finally hit the floor, I moved through the motions of getting … Continue reading →

Love~The Word

Janis Van Keuren

His Creation Reflects His Love — squint and you’ll see a heart “Let them give thanks to the Lord  for his unfailing love  and his wonderful deeds for men,”  Psalm 107:8 NIV (and recurring throughout the Psalm)  The word kept ringing in my ears. It was shouted from the rooftops and whispered from the pastor’s podium. It was tucked in every encouraging note that slipped across my table. It was spoken as wisdom from those closest to me and even … Continue reading →

Feel the Nudge?

     “I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields!

I was a relatively new Christian and I wanted to leave this man with words that … Continue reading →

The three boneless breasts huddled next to each other in the cast iron frying pan while I watched the timer tick away the minutes. I had already measured and set out the other ingredients so the only thing left to do was WAIT.      The timer … Continue reading →

Woman in Her True Role

Janis Van Keuren

       I just noticed Michelle De Rusha’s post on Genesis and laughed when she said she wondered what new insight could we possibly gain from the creation story.     Our pastor’s current series is on Genesis and this week he focused on the creation of Woman. Quite an impressive creation of God when the Hebrew meaning of “helper” is understood.      As I sat and listened to our pastor, my mind was clicking off the well worn passages but … Continue reading →

Learning to Abound in Hope

Janis Van Keuren

          The chatter of more than a hundred women filled the air as we gathered for our annual retreat. Tables aglow with candles burning through hurricane holders bedecked in raspberry and black ribbons set a soft reflective mood as we meandered to our seats.     We came expecting God to touch our lives, transform our hearts, and heal our hurts. We desired to grow closer to Him We left anointed and brimming over with new found hope and joy.      … Continue reading →
