A Song of Sacred Remembering Rock

Life’s storms don’t ask for permission. One moment, you’re steady; the next, it feels like the ground beneath you is crumbling. Demands from others pile up, your own expectations weigh heavy, and the dozens of responsibilities feel like a relentless avalanche. What do you do when everything is falling apart? You do know that you’ll never control every piece of the chaos. Trying to do so only drains your energy and keeps you spinning in place. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the .    Worse, you might know exactly what must be done—but others have pushed you into that tight corner where options feel razor-thin. It’s a no-win scenario—but it doesn’t have to break you. Life often feels like a downward spiral that somehow continues upward—a relentless cascade without an end in sight. The key question isn’t when it will stop, but how you keep your footing while it’s all crashing down. You've gotta maintain your peace as it disrupts the chaos. The K.I.S.S. ~ Maintain your peace!   Here are three no-nonsense strategies to maintain your peace when nothing else feels stable:  Own Your One Thing Right Now  Forget the 10 things you think you need to fix today. Identify the&nbsp;one&nbsp;thing in your control—the smallest action that will create some forward motion or ease in the chaos. This singular focus cuts through the noise, giving your brain a break from trying to juggle a hundred fires at once. When everything’s on fire, your job isn’t to put out all the flames; it’s to stop the one that’s burning your house down.  Create a Boundary Fortress  The moment chaos tries to pull you under, build walls—literal or mental—to protect your peace. Say no, delegate, unplug, or step away. Protecting your mental and emotional space isn’t selfish; it’s strategic. Without these boundaries, the pressure you feel will suffocate any chance of recovery or clear thinking. Even a 10-minute no-distraction bubble can reset your stress thermostat and give you a moment to breathe.  Anchor Yourself With Reality—Not Fear  Chaos breeds stories your mind concocts—words like “never,” “impossible,” or “overwhelming.” This narrative fuels panic. Instead, anchor yourself with facts: what is true, what you have done so far, and what resources you can lean on. Grounding yourself in reality—not fear or what-if fantasies—creates a stable platform from which you can make decisions. It’s not about denying the struggle; it’s about refusing to let worst-case scenarios call the shots.  As you know, nothing will magically stop the storm, but how you respond will give you the space and clarity to navigate through it. You’re not powerless when everything is falling apart. Your peace is your power—guard it fiercely. "Be present. Be incredible.

3877 When Everything Is Falling Apart

They called me a failure — but I’m just getting started.
This track is about turning pain into power, doubt into drive, and silence into legacy.
A fast, emotional rap built on struggle, hate, and the fire to change the game.
They doubted the dream, now they’ll witness the shift.

Join us for Episode 4208 with Rev. Dr. Kenyatta Gilbert, Professor of Homiletics at Howard University School of Divinity. In “The Day is Coming,” he opens Luke 21:5–19 and Malachi 4, naming the tensions of our moment—holy terror and holy grace—and calling listeners to courageous witness without becoming what we oppose. Rooted in the 23rd Sunday after Pentecost (Proper 28, Year C), this message invites endurance, hope, and clear-eyed faith amid upheaval.

Lyrics:

You've got a life to live
And dreams to guide you
Lots of hope you've found
For the love inside
Don't let it pass on by
Or all the tears cried by you
Just might call you friend
To make you ask why you

You had to wait for love
After you let it find you
Had a good old time
Before you let it slide
And though it stays so strong
The tears they find you
Each and every day
Your sorrow binds you

There's somethin with me 
In the room
There's somethin with me 
In the room
There's somethin with me 
In the room
There's somethin with me 
In the room

And I'm so sorry girl
Cuz every day it's harder
And we've tried for hope
Yeah we've been open hearted
And too much has passed
With all the time we've parted
Tell me when is life
Yeah when can we get started

And it's in the room
It's in the room
It's in the room
It's in the room

There's somethin with me 
In the room (rpt fade)
