as something that seemed the least bit enjoyable. When I saw people fasting, I just saw them looking miserable and hungry. Whenever a fast was proposed, I simply refused. The one time I did it in college, it was because a young lady I was trying to date suggested we do it. It was hilariously horrible for me because I had to pretend like I wasn't hungry for a whole day. So, needless to say, I spent the first half of my life under the idea that fasting was just "not for me." But after I graduated from college and went through unexpected seasons of betrayal and isolation, I started to notice something pulling on my spirit. I was trying to listen more closely, but it just felt like something was keeping me from hearing from God more clearly.

I reached out to one of my OGs in the faith and he said, "You might need to turn your plate down and remove whatever distractions may keep the voice of God at a whisper in your life." So at the beginning of 2013, I challenged myself to fast.
