World Wide Message Tribe..

Not sure if this is the week of "let me tell you all the things you didn't know about me" but it feels that way. :) First the title to this blog should make you wonder where will Amanda take this one...I'll explain. There are only a few CD's in my life that when I listen to them take me back to a certain time in my life and a CD that I use to listen to a lot when I was in High School was the World Wide Message Tribe...Google them! But I use to listen to this CD prior to every track meet we had....now the reason for the picture. For 3 years I threw discus in High School and looking back should have loved every moment because it was fun! But I also learned a lot about who I was; who I'd be....I have a lot of great memories of that time. So now you learned a new fact about me...Amanda threw discus in high school....could I today, OH NO! ...but then again :)

But last night I was sitting down to check my email and take a breather from the kind of day it had been! I was sorting through my CD's and I came across the World Wide Message Tribe and I can honestly said that it's been 8-9 years since I've listened to it...tells you how old we're talking. So I put it in, sat down and in a moment was taken back to a very sunny afternoon on a Lake school bus heading down to Dover for the Hurricane invitationals. This is where the best in Stark Co. would be decided. I remember that bus ride because why....I have no idea. I don't know why out of all the track meets, camps and practices that I had over that time, that the one moment I go back to is the invitational. But there is a song on this CD that I'd play right before I'd go in the ring, it was a song that seem to get my blood flowing and this adrenaline kick going....what did the song say...LORD hear my prayer....not what you expected right! ME either. But how appropriate for what I've been dealing with in my life lately...it's my hearts song at the moment...hear my prayer, hear my thoughts and get me through this moment....please! And the best part about all that is that I know HE will!

So listening to this song again last night had the same effect on me as it did almost 16 years ago. Of course all of this only means something to me, but I find it interesting that after so many years a certain song can bring back the memories and feeling just like it did so long ago.

Maybe I'll be listening to some more World Wide Message Tribe to get my days started....but there will be no discus throwing. :)
