Faith and the constant struggle from within

 I have to be completely honest with all of you about something. I truly believe that the only reason I am still here is through the grace of God. But there are a lot of days I wonder why.

Like seriously, what could someone like me do for anyone? It has been one of the many questions I have prayed to God every single day and night.

With that being said, I know that God is there. I've had too many divine signs and angelic presence that I am convinced of this.

One example, when I lost my Nan many years ago, I was completely wrecked. I didn't even know what to think anymore. One day I just wanted it to be over, but suddenly I went to grab a phone number of a pastor I use to talk but hadn't in a while due to working.

Here is the crazy part about this, I honestly felt that someone was telling me to go and call him that day. 

If there is one thing I have learned in all these years, is that sometimes it is just best to sit back and pray and be patient. Which hasn't always been easy to say the least. But again, I have had some many divine signs that somehow keeps me going and I thank God for that.

Whether it be reading the bible, praying, meditating, colors and or angel numbers. Something clicks inside of me and it has carried me through a lot as I continue on my spiritual journey.

Again however, there are still things I question and pray about and wonder why I am the way I am on somethings. 

Like I love to write fiction, like romance, gothic, steampunk, etc. Sometimes I can be very detailed and emotional about what I write and does my me feel amazing, but I get scared sometimes if I being a weirdo. Yet, I pray about it the feelings are still there, to honest, I feel something that God has his angels watching over me and guiding me.

Because every time that I feel like I did something wrong, I feel some comfort over me, like a calming presence surrounding me, encouraging me to keep going. That I will always make mistakes, but it is still telling to keep going and have faith.

Which is weird to me sometimes due to my anxiety issues, yet I can feel so calm about things which is something that I am not use to feeling especially these days as of last. Don't get me wrong, I am forever grateful for that feeling. 🙏 

There are still some things I am questioning and wondering why things are the way they are in my life as I try to find myself and more importantly, start to accept and learn to love myself.

I hope and pray that I am finding a way closer to God. But I also pray for anyone else who is out there struggling with whatever they are going through. Just know that there is always hope, even if you don't see it. Know that there is always angels there watching over you.

Hope and Pray for all of us. God Bless and Be Safe!

Lewistown Area High School Class of 2009

 I can't believe it has been 15 years since me and Chad have graduated from Lewistown Area High School back in 2009. High school was a very interesting time for not just myself, but for many of us who had attended, mainly because usually times at high school is the time of getting to know ones self and discover who they are and what there place is in this world. Being a teenage to becoming a young adult can be very challenging to a lot of people during this time in life. Especially with dealing with all sorts of different emotions that we didn't understand before. Sadly, there are also a lot of young people who struggled to figure things out during their time in high school and I was certainly one of those people.  I mention this because recently I found and looked back through my yearbook when I graduated from Lewistown and it was pretty cool to see some old faces especially now that I am older and learned so much about myself. The only problem about this is I wish I knew what

The Wacky Adventures Of Joshua and Chad: McVeytown Eagles Championship Parade!

Image
Well tonight was a pretty special night down here in McVeytown as Chad and I along with many other people who live here in McVeytown all came together to celebrate a special accomplishment. And that was how all three of the McVeytown Eagles teams made it to the CKYFL championship games. Winning in both the Peewee and Midget divisions and placing second in the Mighty Mights. Stuff like this doesn't happen often in such a small town where I live so to see these kids have the time of their lives during the parade was certainly a sight to see. One of the things I love about covering sports is when I see kids learn, work hard and turn it into success. And these kids were learning a lot throughout the season and watching them grow and not only become better football players, but better people as well.  Which is why I have really enjoyed covering the CKYFL these last few years for Hometown Sports. People like Travis McCullough who is the President of the league along with Adam Weaver, Rob

What's going on? Being honest with ourselves!

 I don't like to cause any problems with anybody but there have been a lot of things that I been wanting to get off my chest for a very long time now. And that is in my humble opinion people don't seem to want to be honest about really anything anymore. Now, I could be just a little paranoid, maybe my anxiety is getting the best of me or whatever. But as time has past I have been getting a weird feeling all over me. You see, I just feel as though people no one is really being honest with each other, themselves or to God anymore. I wish I could describe it better but it has been a concern of mine for quite a long time now and I feel like it is getting worse. People would always say things to me like, Josh it is just a different time. But honestly, I think that is just a lame excuse. And the reason I say that is because a lot of those same people who say that kind of stuff to me are the exact same people who then say that they don't understand how things around us are getting
