Clueless?

What do you think about when you have no idea why you are where you are?

I love how God uses my children even at there young ages of 9mo and 2 1/2yrs to teach me His ways and His will for life.

Last weekend we went to Duluth to visit some dear friends of ours. On Sunday, we went to church with our friends. Miracle went to the 2yr old Sunday School class. Pete and I were sitting in church enjoying the worship as we noticed the children walking up the aisle to sing for the congregation, we saw Miracle. This was totally unexpected. None of us knew about it. Miracle didn't know about it. She had NO CLUE. So of course being only 2, she was put smack dab in the middle in the front row. We watched her stand there (she is the one with the flower dress in between the two boys with the clueless look on her face). I was doing everything I could to keep myself from laughing out loud. It was hilarious to me. It really was amazing to watch her though. She might have not looked happy but she didn't have a fit. She actually tried to sing the songs at one time and the rest of the time she just kept her 2yr old composure. And then it ended and the teacher grabbed her hand and led her back to Sunday School with the other kids.

So, Miracle and just had the following conversation as she looked at this picture as I am posting this:
I said, "What did you think, Miracle?"
Miracle responded with chuckle (honestly, she did), "I was thinking about Jesus."

Pretty amazing.
I know.
I know that God has a lesson for me in all of this.
Life for the Jensen's in past year hasn't been easy compared to the other times that we have experienced in our life so far. It's full of unknowns.
Daily I am thinking, "I have no clue what is going on God; but you know Lord."
But the truth of the matter is I know one thing that is going on...people are lost and hurting and looking for the one and only Savior Jesus Christ. He is one of our only clues that heaven is being prepared for us who believe and this world is not our home. I know that Jesus fills my heart and mind and soul with hope that does not disappoint.
So Miracle told me! What should I be doing when I find myself in a place that I have no clue how, why, what I am doing at this minute? I should be thinking about Jesus.

Here are some of the truths God has given me to claim this past week:

Psalm 16:5 Lord you have assigned me my portion and my cup; you have made my lot secure.
Lamentations 3:22-23 Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed;, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
1 Corinthians 4:16-18 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweights them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

So take it from the faith of a child...in a clueless situation?...think about Jesus!
