About Me

Last update: May 3, 2009.
After a long road and lot's of learning how to grow up, I've redirected a lot of things and my life. The way life goes sometimes is things change and some people are in your life only for a season. Learning to accept that has been a difficult challenge.
You may be going through a really rough time and you may feel like giving up...let me tell you that i am living proof that i didnt give up and finally broke down and let God take control of my life, despite what others were saying about me.
My songs and music are my testimony of how God has changed my life and I hope that they show you you're not alone...cause you're not. I am in the studio from May 8 through the 13th to finally get a cd and maybe get the chance to share them with you. No exact date is available for these songs and I want to thank the following for helping this come true: GOD, Brad, Jana, Chris, Ryan-Caleb-JJ-Byron...from Shatter Me who will be backing the songs up, Studio 317, and my friends Cody, Erik, and Patrick.
My name is Russ and I started playin guitar and leadin worship at 16 for this cool youth group out of Glen Rose, Tx. Then after going to college and being in several different bands and gaining a lot of God given opportunities to record in Dallas, meet a lot of awesome people, and being involved in several different churches in the area, I then hit rock bottom. Life hit me in the face and I let what people say bring me down even more and NONE of it got me anywhere. I walked away from church- Not God, almost ruined my relationship with my parents, lost all my friends, got fired from being a radio dj (my dream job), walked away froma wedding a month away from having it, priced and almost sold ALL of my music stuff 3 times, paid someone to give me their professional advice, and found myself in utter deep darkness. It was a hole I didnt know how to get out of...and after being going through a 3rd bad relationship in a row I couldn't take it anymore. BECAUSE I grew up having a relationship with God I decided to take my heart and just TRY to give it to Him...and put 100 percent trust in Him...and completely let go.
I've always asked myself and wondered how these people live 40 years, 20 years, or however long without knowing God and living a live of deep dark sin and then see God and change with this passion to serve God...their character changes...their life changes...and their words and thoughts change. I always wondered how they made that change...until back in November of 2008, for the first time fell on my knees and cried like a baby and asked God to take this stuff away. From then on and I've never looked back. It involves letting God grab your heart and changing you.

Psalm 1:1-3
Blessed is the man
who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked
or stand in the way of sinners
or sit in the seat of mockers.
But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
and on his law he meditates day and night.
He is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither.
Whatever he does prospers.

James 1:5-6
If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.

Psalm 40:2
He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.

Mathew 10:22
All men will hate you because of me, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.
