Everyone knows
Brooke Fraser is an amazing person, artist and musician, but
for me personally, she, through her music and amazing way to
connect with people, introduced me to the best thing that
could have happened in my life - christianity. She has also
touched so many other peoples lives I know aswell. I totally
believe it is God working through her, and its awesome how
Brooke has stepped up and accepted the challenge of doing
what is God's will and being an awesome tool for God.
I have
recently just become a Christian and Brooke, her music and
her awesome way she lives for God was a major part in that
decision for me. I didn't start fully realising what
Jesus could do for my life until I listened to her music.
Her music really, truely spoke to me. I had a bit of trouble
coming to grips with actually admitting that I was a
Christian to my family, my flat mates and my best mates, who
all didn't and still don't want a bar of the way im living
my life. It's awesome that I (and others) have someone like
Brooke to look up to, someone to look up to that doesn't
care what anyone else thinks and lives her life fully for
Jesus, no matter what the repercussions may be for her.
That's the amazing thing I see in Brooke. She is and awesome
and great role model I look up to that's living her life for
Jesus.
I always have
my bible and a Brooke Fraser CD of some kind with me coz for
some reason when ever I'm having a hard time, I just whack
on her album or a single of hers and its gives me a bit of
courage, and determination to get through what ever I happen
to be dealing with. I sorta relate Brookes music to when I
accepted Jesus into my life again and I suppose her music is
special and relays just how great that day was for me, and
how that ultimately, was just the start of my life. I don't
totally owe becoming a Christian to Brooke and her music,
but it certainly played a huge part, and helped me turn my
life around. I was at rock bottom just before I discovered
her music (which was by a crazy, crazy, crazy accident), and
as soon as I played it I totally lost it and burst into
tears. But in a good way, coz from then on, there was
something there on my shoulder telling me that stuffs going
to be okay now. Somehow, amazingly so, it is true. My life
has turned around no end since then and sorting my life out
and becoming a Christian has been a totally amazing
journey. If I hadn't have bumped into Brooke's music that
day I don't think I would be with this world. If I was, I
would've been so cold and so messed around, boozed and
stoned off my face somewhere trying to run away from the
problems and stuff that I needed to face in my life. The
same day I discovered her music I also saw an interview with
her on telly where she said something along these
lines. "you have to face up to stuff that troubles you in
your life, you gotta face up to it and work through it." It
kinda hit me right in the face and from then I have thought
so differently about everything.
When I think
about it, I'm so grateful of the opportunity I was given
through her music. I am so thankful I did hear her music,
and have seen her speak at Church. I cringe when I think of
what my life could have been like, thankfully I was a lucky
recipient of a message that spoke right to my heart, just in
time. God has given her the most amazing talents which she
uses so constructively. The people of New Zealand are
standing up and taking notice of what God has to offer, (and
of course other countries as well), and Brooke has been
blessed by being one of the key people to spread the word
around here like butter! I've seen Brooke speak before and
the message she has to give is unbelievable. She said she
hates to see young people wandering around angry, feeling
like they have no place in the world and nothing to offer.
She believes that everyone has talents and gifts to offer,
which is totally true. She made me realise that I have
things to offer to this world, and that with Jesus as your
Saviour you can achieve anything. Now the dreams and
aspirations I have are starting to take shape. I've fully
realised what I can achieve and I couldn't be in a better
place. I'm totally stoked that I'm living my life for God
now, and endevour to tell SOO SO SOO many about what I've
received, most especially young people, in the hope that
they will also be able to get a whole lotta loving from
J.E.S.U.S.
So yeah,
cheers Brooke, what else can I say? Thank you is what I can
say. Thank you so much. |
