After five years in the music ministry and being on the road by myself I am asking for some help...First and foremost I am asking for prayer in this situation...What I am refering too is this ...As some of you might know I now have a band ...Only three guys right now, but we are in the next few weeks going to have a new fiddle player and another guitar player..Plus we would love to have a steel player soon....Ok here's the need...We need a , Bus, motorhome or a super large van to travel in ..
Five of us (the three guys ,me and my mom) just traveled to Michigan and back to Texas using my MOM'S van...... It seats five but if you have seen the pics of these guys they are all over 6 ft...We did fine took alot of stretch breaks...But we could not have done it if we would have had one more player, or we didn't have mom's van...(we pulled a trailer where we had all the band equipment .This van is not made to pull a trailer but we did it anyway gas mileage was horrible)
So I am asking if you know of,  or will help in this situation...
NO we don't have a half a million dollars backing us like some Christian groups do ...These groups get churches to back them and help them with things like this ...I am talking  about groups like Casting Crowns, Mercy Me,Ect....But the band members nor myself go to big churches...and speaking for my church they help as much as they can.......
 So I am now asking for     1 PRAYER......   2 For a church , or individual or someone to PLEASE help us out ...We have  many miles of traveling to do in the next few months and it would be a tremendous BLESSING if you could help....May GOD BLESS each and everyone of you........C-ya

Current mood:  excited
The "180" band will be hitting the road to Carlsbad New Mexico this week . We are very excited with what we are going to do ....We are going to the Country Gospel Music Association Convention ...and we are going to keep you informed as to what's going on.....HOW YOU MAY ASK........We will be using TWITTER to the fullest.....When we TWITTER it will automatically go to our facebook page and the Myspace page....So if you are on either page and you are on our friends list you will get the updates as to what we are up to.....FUN HUH.....
The CGMA is  very MINISTRY MINDED and I have been wanting to go for about 4 years..The band wanted to go also ....SO.....AWAY WE GO ....lol......

 I also want to tell all the folks sending prayer request ...THANK YOU....I have prayed for all of you PLUS many others...I will write next week about some questions some folks have about GOD hearing them and does GOD answer prayers...Sometimes I ask myself that question ...BUT the Bible makes it clear so next week we will be writing on this....Until then GOD BLESS................

p.s we are leaving for New Mexico ...Thursday morning ....

Current mood:  accomplished
I feel like its been that long that I need to introduce myself..Ok I know you know me ....lol
Where have I been well ...No excuses this time ...But a lesson to be learned... Since January I have let OTHER things direct my path way out of focus.. I have been moving,working 3 jobs, starting the band ,getting bookings ,trying to juggle everything and not doing something that is GRAVE in  the LORDS eyes. Seeking him first...Ya see I used to blog a sermon almost EVERY week but that soon started to slow down ...Emails were answered almost overnight, I had more time then,,But when I let OTHER things get in the way this started to stop...This didn't happen overnight...BUT it can change overnight....All I ask is for your support.

The band is doing GREAT if you check the schedule you will see that we are busy , BUT not busy enough to become full time...(This is where our hearts are at..) If you have a church that has bands from time to time  BELIEVE ME that is where our hearts are...   email me at  RickyRussMinistries@yahoo.com it would be a GREAT blessing for us ....

We do have some opportunities coming up ..Opening up for Marty Raybon one month,opening up for Buddy Jewel another ,we are working on others... Plus the headlining we" are" getting to do ....THANK YOU LORD....Please tell your friends if we are in your area. Your support once again is very important. 

I am not going to go any further... I will save more for next weeks blog...So what is a lesson to be learned....Seek him FIRST and the desires of your heart will be given to you......Obey GOD resist the devil and he will flee....SO FLEE devil I am seeking GOD FIRST........I got off track doing what the world wanted me to do ....

So have you been off track...Have you spent way too many hours ,watching tv,on the computer too much,making excuses not to go to church, not praying, when was the last time you picked up that Bible.....NOT SEEKING HIM FIRST.....Things that make you go hummmmmmm....
   GOTTA RUN....GOD BLESS............Ricky

P.S. Next week.....Your not gonna believe where my music has been played......
