COFFEE CONVERSATIONS: On Easter awakenings and defeating Defeatism (edited)

obaramartel February 09, 2020

Easter ain’t that special to me anymore, as I’ve been celebrating it with my family for as long as I can remember. But it was only yesterday that I have come to realize the true meaning of Easter.

I’ll be a bit open to you guys. I’ve been feeling down lately for a couple of reasons: frustration, anxiety, and societal pressure (plus self- inflicted pressure). On top of that, I have real- life and family concerns to consider. This sadness has been going on for a month now, and I'm afraid I'll go in a downward spiral if I continue with this feeling.

I’ve grown spiritually over the past few months, and I have become more and more positive and grateful. But I have to admit that I’m human, and I fall sometimes when the going gets tough. I can’t feel God’s presence in my life now, until yesterday.
