Gardenia

I have a new favorite song. It's Gardenia by Mandy Moore and I can relate to the lyrics so well. It's been kind of a rough week for me. I've felt a mixture of sadness and melancholy and frustration intertwined with some gratitude.

Earlier this evening, I went to a baptism for this guy in my FHE group. As we were singing I Know That My Redeemer Lives,I was reminded of some things that I had forgotten. It was nice to remember that Heavenly Father really does know us and he knows what we're going through. Sometimes all we need is a little patience. It doesn't always take away the things we're feeling, but it does offer us some insight and perspective into what we're facing. Here are they lyrics:

Well, I put so much thought into getting ready
Now I know that was the best part
It’s so easy to get caught up in what I’m regretting
Forget what I got from a wounded heart

CHORUS
I’m the one who likes Gardenia
I’m the one who likes to make love on the floor
I don’t want to hang up the phone yet
It’s been good
Getting to know me more


I’ve been seeing all my old friends in the city
Walking alone in Central Park
Doing all the things that I’ve neglected
Traded ‘em all in
To be in your arms

CHORUS

Well, I hear my own voice
It Sounds so silly
I Keep on telling my story all around
Everything I lost ain't so different
Cause this is how everybody gets found
