I touched on this in a message several weeks back, but I felt like someone needs this tonight; Einstein said that you can't fix a problem from within the same environment that created it. In other words... If you're not happy with something in your life right now, then maybe it's time to change your surroundings (oftentimes your relationships). In Genesis 37 Joseph encountered (and overcame) 3 surrounding environments that had the potential to keep him from reaching his ultimate destination
1. A commitment to people who didn't fully value his purpose,
2. A place of relative comfort, contentment, familiarity, and mediocre success,
3. Unescapable imprisonment and bo***ge.
If Joseph's surroundings never changed, he would have never achieved what God created him for. No matter what you're facing tonight, maybe it's time you take an honest evaluation of your situation to see who or what is holding you back. YOU WERE MADE FOR GREATNESS!! Love you guys!! - Andy

Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry. Human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires. So get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and humbly accept the word God has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to save your souls. But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. For if you listen to the word and don’t obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror. You see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like. But if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it. (James 1:19-25 NLT)

If you want things to change in your life then change what you allow into your life. If you allow it then it will never get better. Love you guys and hope you are having a great Monday!

This is short, and so worth the time to read!! Great perspective for all high school students (it was written for girls but many/most apply to guys too)!!

A few nights ago I had an encounter with my 18-year-old daughter that will be imprinted on my heart forever. I walked into her room; she was sitting on the floor with her laptop. Immediately obviou...
