thanks to guys wanting to get in my pants, we all know I've got "great form," and I'm "kind of a badass," and that apparently at least on one occasion I looked like "something out of an everlast ad" (wtf?)
This one came from a female, the only instructor at my gym that I like taking spin classes from, who is probably in her mid forties. She's the sweetest thing ever and she does a really kick ass class that runs the full hour with no breaks. Sometimes I'll chit chat with her a little after class as I'm getting my stuff together, but this came from left field. (btw, she told me I have good form too!!!)
So yesterday at the end of the class I'm the last one to leave and she stops for a second and says, "I don't know what you believe. And you're probably going to think I'm crazy. But every time I see you in this class I see the most amazingly strong anointing on you, like God has some great calling for you. It gives me goosbumps! It's like the holy spirit is just radiating off of you."
Ummmm. Even coming from a place of where I am now, very devout, I didn't even know how to respond to that. So I deflected and we talked about god stuff and local churches for twenty minutes. Which then shifted somehow into talking about eating disorders (her history, my current, other girls she knows who are suffering) and faith driven recovery. Which then shifted into me giving her info to pass to them about my small group at my church (which has an ED focus) and an online daily study I'm doing regarding faith based recovery. Which then transitioned into her worrying about me shifting to exercise anorexia and I told her about various accountability partners I have to keep me from overdoing it in the gym. After about an hour of blah blah blah blah, we exchanged hugs before parting ways.
Most bizarre random gym conversation in the entire world. I don't know about all that anointing stuff (I think everyone is called to some sort of purpose, none greater than the other), but I feel like I went from being friendly strangers to getting semi-adopted by my spin class instructor.
I know some of y'all are gonna think the woman's a weirdo, but the truth is even if I'm balking at her ideas about the holy spirit radiating off of me (I lol at even typing that), she was so genuine and loving and sweet that I can't hold it against her. And it doesn't hurt right now to surround me with as many people as I can who are trying to look out for me. Kind of cool actually that I have someone actually AT my gym holding me responsible for staying healthy.
Flame away, fuckers.
