| Living with 15 other people in an elementary school dorm has its days. Everyone's quirks come to the surface. There is no hiding when living in such close proximity. One quirk that stands above the rest is keeping things clean. The living area is a thorn in the flesh to some in our band. Some people deal with the general messiness of the living room by writing friendly and not so friendly reminders on the white board to clean up. Others quietly clean up after the messies not bothering to make waves. I rap about the situation, not really too concerned one way or the other. I do my part and know that you can't make other people change. There will always be cleanies and messies.
Yo yo was up
We in distress
Peeps up in here
Wont clean their mess
This shows a lack
Of gratefulness
Who will clean up
Is youngins guess
You shorties betta
Stop this drama
Cause you aint at home
Wit yo momma
So all you dogs
Up in this hood
We hope that erebody
Understood
We gotta clean
And that's a fact
Cause if we don't
Peeps will react
Yo yo you dogs
Just stop this trippin
Its time to work
You betta stop skippin
We in the EV
Wit each otha
So remember
My sistas and brothas
Erebody's gotta
To do their part
Lets make today
A brand new start. Ashia Payne (c) 2007

| BEHIND:
REFINE 13 finished last week. Four girls became saved. Many got things right between God and their parents. Revival started in me and my girls.
BEFORE:
Ahead of me is the exciting unknown. I'm going to live abroad in Taiwan as an English teacher. There are many questions and few answers.
BESIDE:
But I am certain of God's leading and walk into this new adventure with the consciousness of Him.

| I am a firm believer that everyone has a twin in the world. Yes, unbeknownst to you, there is someone out there who either looks just like you or acts just like you. Case in point: At work, one of the volunteer's acts exactly like one of my friends. Everything down to the hand gestures and voice inflections. Somehow I have to get the two of them to meet each other. Their smiles are even the same.  I didn't get to meet my twin, but on night when we were picking my brother up from the Metro station, there she was talking on her cell phone waiting for the bus. She looked EXACTLY like me!! No joke! Even my mom was like, "That girl really looks a lot like you." FrEaKY!  I wish I had time to meet her. Maybe I'll see her again sometime. While in college my dad got to meet his twin. An african band was performing on campus, and the band members got my dad mixed up with their drummer. My dad met the guy and said they talked and laughed in the exact same way. Strange but true! Soooooo, have you met your twin?  | | |
| After being on the mountain top it's hard coming back to the valley. On the mountain, faith is easy. You see so much and can easily rest in God's sovereignty. He is so close, you wonder how you ever questioned whether he was there.
Crouched in the trenches, everything is hazy. Visibility is down to a few feet, if that. All the while Enemy is barraging you with all he has. What you knew on the mountain is only a dim memory.
I just have to keep telling myself that God never changes. He is the same, even though my circumstances change. The same God I enjoy fellowship and intimacy with in the mountain, I can while in the thick of the battle. He is here with me and I can rest in the truth of His Word.

| Right now life is good. I recently got a job working at an inner city after school program. This is exciting for me because I always dreamed about making a difference in the lives of kids who are at risk. Now I have a chance to do just that. The kids that I work with are 8-11 and they are the perfect age for me. Young enough to like to have fun and old enough to have an attention span longer than 2 minutes.
