Welcome to The Enchanting Chaos!

Well, Hi There! 

Hey, hey everybody! Look who finally created a personal blog?! It's been long anticipated, I know! Since I am new at creating blogging content, I decided to go with an easy blog app to begin with. Also, it's free and I'm poor so.... Yeah! ðŸŦ  Anyways, I'm glad you're here and I hope you enjoy the thoughts and inspirations I want to share with you! 

Writing is my #1 passion. As a young woman who doesn't seem to have many talents that I'm aware of, writing is certainly one talent I can acknowledge I'm blessed by and something I've loved doing every since I first picked up a pencil and learned how to write. Writing is an expressive art form through words that become stories and stories that can become a playground of possibility and hope. You know how you get lost in a book or a painting? I get lost in writing! 

What's in a Name? 

You might be curious to know what my inspiration for the title of my blog is. And you may not be interested. Fair is fair but I'm going to tell you anyway! ðŸĪŠ 

Several years ago, I was on my way back home from visiting a friend who was teaching in New Mexico. I was in the beginning stages of my new found independence and ability to travel more. I was starstruck by the beauty of New Mexico and I was drawn in by the State nickname, The Land of Enchantment. Sitting at the airport waiting to go back to Wichita, Kansas, I excitedly zipped open my backpack and grabbed my new magenta notebook. I began to write about how exciting my trip had been and how ✨enchanting✨ life really was. If you knew me back then you'd know all too well how broken I was. My mental health was in shambles and everything was ðŸŽĒ chaotic.ðŸŽĒ Nevertheless, I wanted to write and share my life with others. Writing is and was my therapy. It has saved me many times over. 

When I got back to Kansas, I started sending emails out titled,  The Enchanting Chaos of Gingeroo, a nickname given to me by a friend... Gingeroo. I wanted to find the everyday enchanting glory amidst all things chaotic. And so I did. Over time my I stopped being productive with my emails. I got a fair amount of criticism for them but don't get me wrong, I got a lot of positive feedback too. Eventually, I stopped writing altogether and have only recently been able to pick it back up again. 

I write what I know. What's on my heart. I write about dreams and tragedies alike. I want to share with you, my story. Who I am, where I've been and where I'm hopeful to be going. It is my sincere wish that my blog can touch the life of another or at the very least be some much deserved comedic relief. I want to share my pain so that someone might read it and know that they are not alone. I want to write about my joy and celebrate it with you. I want to share the daily happenings and struggles so that you know I'm still human. I want to write about purpose because we all have one and you need to know you're insanely loved! 

Closing Thoughts

So, this introductory post is fairly blah, I realize, but have patience and maybe something more interesting may come forth. I truly can't wait to have you join me on my journey! Let's get inspired about life together! Yeah! ðŸ™ŒðŸ― 

In addition to what's going on in life, I'll also post a simple poem from time to time. I may write a completely senseless post about what I learned about the state of California or about one of America's great titans. I do love to learn! 

If you've made it to the end of this. Congratulations. You're a trooper. Bless you! Stay tuned for more content SOON! 

... and remember, God's got you, always! 💜

Save The Last Dance For Me

Save The Last Dance For Me I will never be a perfect follower of my precious and perfect Jesus. Super-duper thing about knowing this is knowing my Jesus prefers progress over perfection. If we were perfect, we would have no need of him and we most certainly need him. We need a savior, a best friend with unlimited talk time, a superior cheerleader throughout our lives, a father figure who binds up wounds and carries us.  Interesting fun fact: I grew up with an almost innate belief that God loved me. Like it just made total sense despite how crazy my life was...it wasn't until I was older that I began to believe that I needed to earn his love and protection. That I needed to be perfect and cross off so and so many boxes of accomplishments before the great teacher would look on me and reward me. I strove to make sure my prayers were just right...tried my hardest to make them sound like other peoples poetic prayers...I just couldn't do it. So there was that...the beginning of the e...

Resiliency

  Resiliency The month of February was 'enchantingly chaotic', more chaotic than enchanting but nevertheless very interesting! Early in the month I went to good ol' Versailles, Missouri for a wedding and got to see all my lovely Missouri friends again. As soon as I got home I got slammed with a nasty bug that held on for what seemed like an eternity. Then as if that wasn't epic enough I totaled my car on my way home from the gym headed for coffee. I am still depending on the kindness of others lending a vehicle to me in order to get from point A to point B but I'm hoping a new-to-me vehicle is soon on the horizon!  I couldn't seem to gather much for writing inspiration with all the chaos chaos-ing but lately there has been a topic rolling around in my head that I think I would like to share with everybody. It is the topic of resiliency and the role my great grandmas influence played in my life.  Her name is Wilma Nadine (Brown) Jennings. I am super stoked to tel...
