I first heard Brookes song 'better' just before Christmas 2003, and I can't say I loved it straight away, however I absolutely loved her voice, it rocked the boat something wicked. Then I heard 'lifeline'. Lifeline still makes me realise how lucky I am to be where I am now. At the time (late 2003) my life was alright, I had heaps of friends and was socialising heaps, however I felt like something was missing, like I was missing the point of life, which I didn't really want to do. I needed a lifeline(go the cheesy pun). I had become a Christian a few months before, however I never really changed my life that much, I never really felt like I had got the hang of it. When I got Brookes CD, four songs changed that, and made me see what I was missing out on. Indelible, Mystery, Lifeline, and Arithmetic are still my sort of battle songs, as well as a few Switchfoot ones. These songs are the ones I put on when I feel like it's not going to well for me. They help me recentre myself, and help me back on track. Indelible and Arithmetic are such honest worship songs, I cannot rate them more highly. Brooke is such a light for God, and is so incredibly straight up about everything, she sets a really good example of what a light for God should be like. I know that everyone has their weaknesses and areas in which they struggle against sin, so i know that Brooke isn't perfect and has stuff to work on with her relationship with God, but from what I've seen so far, she is an amazing person, and has done a brilliant job so far. Big ups.
