abiding in HIM in la

So here I am, in Los Angeles (well close enough anyways).

i feel like i have a lot to say about how i got here and what not but im just going to go into what I want to say.
God has been moving, here's how:

-Under My Umbrella
Yesterday was a rough day, long, some disappointments and some planning. I drove into North Hollywood (btw: the largest concentration of recording studios west of the Mississippi) source
Well I was there and I was wifi hoping, because i felt bad taking up a chair at a place where i hadn't spend money, and got tired of that so I drove back to Rancho Cucamonga. My timing couldn't be better because I hit rush hour (6:00, of course!) and then it started to rain. Well I wasn't feeling too good but as I was flipping through the 1,000 radio stations available in Los Angeles i settled on a familiar song, Umbrella by Rihanna. As I started to jam out to it, I heard God speaking through it.

lyrics:
======================
You have my heart
And we'll never be worlds apart
May be in magazines
But you'll still be my star
Baby cause in the dark
You can't see shiny cars
And that's when you need me there
With you I'll always share
Because

[Chorus]
When the sun shines, we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath I'ma stick it out till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella

These fancy things, will never come in between
You're part of my entity, here for Infinity
When the war has took it's part
When the world has dealt it's cards
If the hand is hard, together we'll mend your heart
Because

You can run into my arms
It's OK don't be alarmed
Come here to me
There's no distance in between our love
So go on and let the rain pour
I'll be all you need and more
Because

It's raining
Ooh baby it's raining
Baby come here to me
Come here to me
It's raining
Oh baby it's raining
===================

I know it sounds weird to associate a Rihanna song with God, but just hearing those words last night, reminded me of who HE is and how much he cares for me (and us as his creation). Go back and re-read these lyrics as if God himself were singing them to you.

God is amazing and I love how he uses everything to bring HIM glory!


Also, i tried running this morning. It turned into walking, but it was still great!
