explanation for screen name

there's a song out by John Legend, called "Ordinary People" And the lyric's go somethin like, "We're just ordinary people...we don't know which way to go"

Somehow, that's supposed to be comforting to some people.

weird huh?

Well, it's a catchy tune and all, but I decided to change the words for myself when it got stuck in MY personal- head.

"We're just supernatural people! We just know the way to go!"

then my melody itch is scratched, AND I'm not singing crap over myself!
It's a win-win situation.

For those of you who are wondering my ideology behind my lyrics switch...I've got some 'splainin' to do:
"We're Just Supernatural People"
By "we" I mean people who know their identity as sons and daughters of the Living God. People who know we are made in the image of/ or rather, the Likeness of God, and He made us to be very powerful. At the same time, these people who know that next to an eternally wise and good God, they're about as dumb as sheep, but hey AT LEAST WE HEAR HIS VOICE and we can do what He says. That, my friends, makes us WISE.

hence: "We just know the way to go"
So. These are the people who know which way to go, because they have a leader. They don't have to live their days in confusion and loneliness, because they walk in the knowledge that they are NEVER alone. Their heavenly Father never leaves them or forsakes them. His Holy Spirit leads us and guides us into ALL TRUTH.

Ha!

So I like to stir up my soul with a big espresso shot of CONFIDENCE by singing my little re-worded song to myself....thanks John Legend. for that catchy melody. and your inane lyrics that offended my spirit so much, I found a shred a truth out here in this wasteland.

Thanks.

it's a very good place to start

The beginning that is...my apologies for starting this whole thing off with a Sound of Music quote, but I couldn't help it... I suppose I am all about the sound of music, in an abstract sort of way. So I don't apologize.

I am Jessica. One of the hundreds of ten thousands of them born in the eighties.
So I am young to you.
Or old, depending on who's reading.

But that shouldn't matter, because we are eternal creatures and that whole time and age thing is kinda weird to us, right?


We are known to say things like:
"what?! what time is it? oh @#$!"

"I'm 37?!?! no way! I'm really 18 inside!....no 22! 22!"

We just weren't meant to stay here in time very long. You'll never get used to it.

Don't even try.
