Rebecca Linda (Garcia) Smith was born into a military
family and spent most of her young life
between the United States and Germany. She started singing at four years of age
and sang
in school functions and in churches throughout Europe during her teenage years.
As Rebecca Linda
grew in her faith, her singing also grew and became a form of ministry. Music
has always played
a major role in her life.
Rebecca Linda's life took many twists and turns that always seemed to point to
God's purpose for
her future. She became a public school teacher for a few years prior to getting
a direct commission
in the U.S. Army. She served on active duty as an Army officer for three years
and then two years
in the Reserves after she returned to teaching. She obtained a master's degree
in counseling and
ministered to students and families during her teaching career. She continued to
sing in churches,
at weddings, memorial services, and at various social and community events
during this phase of her
life. Yet, she always had a burning desire to sing for the Lord on a full-time
basis, hence her
ministry as Rebecca Linda Smith-Renewed.
Rebecca Linda's first CD, "All For You", confirmed that this was the
direction God intended for
her life. The title song was written by her former recording manager, George
Arriola, founder of Joy Records in El Paso, Texas and it summed up what she
felt her life was all about in serving the Lord. The other songs are those that
have touched her life and renewed her desire to sing for Him as a ministry.
Rebecca Linda's second CD, Jesus' Grace, has been released
via HMG Nashville under her own record label, RENEWED RECORDS. Distribution is
nationwide and worldwide. It has a common theme in most of the
songs—that we are all sinners saved by Jesus' grace—and a powerful and
anointed message of eternal hope in each song. We will be adding a website,
www.renewedrecords.com,
for our new record label. You can also visit my artist website at www.rlsrenewed.com.
"Jesus Grace" contains 14 songs (12 original ), most written or
co-written by Rebecca Linda and her husband, Robert Frank, that have the
wonderful country music live band sound. The album also includes the
inspirational country music video song, "Do You Know Me" and a gospel
song, "Prisoner of Love," duet with Ms. Dottie Rambo, a living legend
and Queen of Gospel Music.
"God has blessed me with my driving force from my
devoted songwriter husband and soul mate, Dr. Robert Frank Smith. It amazes me
how God took my music ministry and completed the circle after my first CD by
suddenly giving Robert Frank the gift of writing lyrics to songs that are now
touching so many hearts and lives. His beautiful gospel and inspirational song
lyrics put to music are a major part of the "Jesus' Grace" CD.
God had always planned for the two of us when He felt the time was right."
Rebecca Linda prays that these CDs will touch lives and
serve to restore those who need a renewal in their spiritual walk and commitment
to the Lord or just provide a warm touch from Jesus Christ. Rebecca Linda not
only sings Southern Gospel Music, she has crossed the boundaries into
Christian Contemporary and is Crossing over into the Mainstream Inspirational
Country. Rebecca Linda lives with her husband in El Paso near their son,
and his wife, Ivy, both of whom serve the Lord in their own Christian
ministries. Rebecca Linda and Robert Frank have been traveling to churches
in Florida, New Mexico, and Texas since the release of her first CD,
"All For You." They are looking forward to continuing travels
throughout the country and abroad as they share God's message through personal
testimony, music and song.
