"If He brings you to it, He will bring you through it." There would be no point in faith if it was not tested. My mother always told me no matter how negative your life seems to be, you must always look for a positive. That is what I believe a woman of faith should do.
The style of the song sounds very mellow and it is not a happy song, nor sad. It was a way for Jennifer Hudson to grieve after the significant loss she experienced. As stated by Jennifer Hudson “Sometimes I find it difficult to express (myself) and that is where it came from with ‘I Remember Me,’ it was the best way for me to be able to put myself out there as far as my emotions, my thought and where I feel like I am in life right now.” With all this in mind, I believe she is also trying to have a positive outlook on the situation and life in general.
The I Remember Me album release date was March 22, 2011, by Arista Records and the title song “I Remember Me” received mixed reviews from critics. Although this song did not receive the rave reviews, I think it did what it needed to do to help Jennifer Hudson heal. The entire album reflected the different chapters of her

    In the book "If I Ever Get Out of Here" the author Eric Gansworth writes about the dangers of assumptions. He writes about this theme throughout the book by introducing situations in which an assumption of a character or a group, often times based on race, turns out to be incorrect and leads to issues between the two people or groups. Lewis and his family both make assumptions about George's family because he is from off the reservation and there are assumptions made about Indians and Lewis by teachers, classmates, store workers, and more. While Lewis is being bullied by Evan, a kid at his school, many people didn't believe that the situation was as bad as Lewis claimed. When discussing the problem in the lunchroom some of the kids agreed that Lewis is just "making the easy Indian claim" (p. 207).…

    RARELY has obedience laid upon me so difficult a task as this of writing about prayer; for one reason, because I do not feel that God has given me either the power or the desire for it, besides which, during the last three months I have suffered from noises and a great weakness in my head that have made it painful for me to write even on necessary business. However, as I know the power obedience has of making things easy which seem impossible, my will submits with a good grace, although nature seems greatly distressed, for God has not given me such strength as to bear, without repugnance, the constant struggle against illness while performing many different duties. May He, Who has helped me in other more difficult matters, aid me with His grace…

    Emily Dickinson is well known for her unusual poems, however during her life she wasn’t famous till after she passed away when her family started to find 1000’s of her poems stuff in tiny spaces all around the house. Dickinson’s writing wasn’t well understood during her time, she had a uniqueness that was ahead of her time; she had an amazing use of symbols, capitalism, themes and tones in her writing which make reading her poems so intriguing. While growing up she wasn’t the average women, she had her own thoughts and beliefs which is something I love about her which brings me to one of my favorite poems by her: “I’m Nobody! Who are you?” I 'm Nobody!…
