come rain or shine


So, I haven't wrote anything in the past couple of weeks due to a busy college life. I promised myself after this semester that i would try to blog atleast once a week to give those of you who care about what's going on in KcLAND a better idea....& that I will accomplish after this week! Woohoo! I don't know about you but I'm ready for summer to get here & my official summer break will begin June 5!!! chahhyeahh! Anywho, enough ramble, I just kind of want to share my heart with you a little bit. Listed will be 3 elements that have taken place in my life or just came across my mind, over the past few weeks......




1) Family: the closer i get to graduation ( only 9 days btw) the more i realize, i'm growing up. Yeah i know, kc- ur 20....yeah well so what! i love being a kidd still! I enjoy goofing off with my lil bigg brother & watching disney movies & letting my mom rock me to sleep. My heart has not aged...yes it's matured but i believe the longer we hold onto our childhood & thank God everyday for His greatness & all the things He has blessed us with & have the outlook & innocence like a child....we will be rich in our hearts!!! So I tell my family everyday how much i love them. i don't want to go a day without letting them know just how much they mean to me. it's because of them that i have accomplished 2 years of my education! They have been my support group...my cheerleaders!!


2) Friends: i love them & lately i've realized that they come and go. Kind of sad but it's the truth so I've learned it's easier to just accept it and move on. Though my best friend decided he really didn't want to put forth the efforts in keeping our friendship together anymore, it's actually a good thing. God places the right people at the right time in our lives. Some of those are short term & some are long term. - my best friend was obviously a short term...he did his time & now God has other plans. Yeahh it stinks but I'm okay because I trust in the one who wrote my life, He's never let me down. Already He has placed other people in my life that i've already learned to care about- Whit W, Natalie, Jake, ect. I love my friends & can not wait to make even more when i begin my new life in Huntsvegas!


3) Other Half: JorDan Andrew Taylor...my Pretty amazing boyfriend. He's the giggle in my laugh, the cheese to my smile, and the twinkle in my eye =) haha. Seriously though... he has made my life exciting. For once in my life, I feel like someone truly loves the person I am. I knew when i laid everything down at the Feet of Jesus & pooured out every bit of my heart....God was going to bless me at the right time with someone He had purposed for me. It is a great feeling to look at the person sitting next to you & see straight to their heart.... i love it!!! I love the fact that God loves me so much, He designed this dude with me in mind. It's the best feeling. It's been a fun ride so far & i can not wait to see where God has planned for us to venture too. JorDan is an anointed man of God & I am excited to know i get to be there with him to experience those wonderful things God pours out into his life and he the same for me. It's actually a relief fo know, I can let my heart settle down....make camp lol. A relief to know that I can allow myself to love again....with the pure love that God designed for me to share with someone. A love created in my heart just for JorDan Taylor. Though I am having to learn to express myself better & allow feelings to spill out, it's nice to know that he is there to help me learn. I truly love this man & the God inside him!!!


now....

school is coming to a close and i will be blogging more often. I also want to start sharing my paintings & drawings on here too so i will be working on getting all of that together. With many plans this summer & a new school experience started August, I will be adding another blog just for my personal space. this blog will be consisting mainly of my ministry & Jesus Jingles =) Thank you all for reading & wanting to look into my life. I hope you see my heart after God. I love you all & will be posting new things starting this friday!


Peace & love...kc ashton
