I've gotten some amusing comments @ the gym, but this took the cake

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.
 
That was nice of her to say

I had a professor once who was religious ( in this case Muslim)

I def had a feeling as if he was Holy in some way... some people just have that and are real on some level

He is a Linguistics professor but also VERY devout....( hes very peaceful and non violent principled fyi)

She sounds nice, and maybe she is placed in your path for a purpose?
 
Pretty high end compliment I think! What part of it do you have an issue w/? The fact that she said it or the fact that it might be true? Perhaps you have a hard time seeing yourself as others do... ? Never though of yourself as Holy?

Blessings,
 
I sold a set of encyclopedias once to a guy who was a religious nut. He said God called me to his house and then spent 90 minutes trying to convert me while I frantically tried to let my boss know where I was. I thought he was going to seriously kill me and stuff me in a drawer somewhere.

I often let the hawt women in my spin class know how much I admire their form.
 
It was probably lartinos in drag just fucking with you.

^^^^ and some people have a different way of talking about religious areas. An anointing wouldn't be something that I would say, but a "calling", that is more what is heard. Did she mention what church she went to? That may give you some insite.... she sounds cool to me.
 
i guess SB isnt the chosen one afterall lololo

And Im sure she said it in a totally non sectual way too hahahahhah

We talked about that. She actually has been to my church and loves it, but she spends more of her time at a more charismatic church....she's one of those dance in the isles types, which is adorable to me because she's this nice mom looking blond lady.
 
It's a little over the top with the god stuff, or would be for someone like me, but I'd say it's a badass compliment.
 
The "God must have a plan for you" lead-in is a common way to begin religious recruiting (often centered around a particular skill or gift someone has). I don't know about other denominations, but it's been a commonly-trained technique in the Church of Christ since at least the early 1980's.

And I'm not demeaning the approach at all. It's definitely smoother than saying: "Let me convert you to my religion" or "You're going to hell if you don't listen to me."

Well, there's nothing for her to single me out specifically to need that kind of conversion. I'm pretty solid with the God fella at the moment.

Plus, I actually saw her get goosebumps as she was telling me this...so for what it was worth, I believe she was being genuine.

Yet all that worth means nothing due to the massive inflation under Reagan.
 
I had some random guy on the street stop me and tell me he liked my aura- now that was bizarre. Your lady doesn't sound that cracked.

This is bullshit Dave, I am The Chosen One, voices tell me everyday that I am. they speak to me, sometimes I don't understand what they are saying, I think they speak to me in Hebrew sometimes, I have been sent to strike the first blow for the armies of heaven. Wait and see my child, the world will always remember my name.

this would really make me wanna know what auras look like...

I'd take it as a compliment Nef, for sure....most people just say I look like a bitch or that I command an audience which may be code for..look out the bitch is here..but then I'm not very in touch with god stuff.

I guess if I was I'd be pretty stoked about this exchange

lol I don't think she's cracked. In conversation with her it was clear that something she saw as her calling was reaching out to younger folks who are troubled in some way. She'd unofficially fostered a lot of teenage troubled kids, etc. I think one reason she spoke to me also is she picked up on my problem. She mentioned eating disorder stuff vaguely, and I owned up to it right away. She then said, "I kind of thought you might have a problem with that which is why I brought that up." She apparently has amazing perceptive ability because I look like a normal, healthy, athletic girl. But she picked up on my negative relationship with mirrors.

I shouldn't have joked on her like she was wacky, I just really didn't know what to do with that comment. It was pretty much the coolest thing anyone has ever said to me but parts of my brain and heart have a hard time accepting that it might be real on any level. But one of the parting things she said to me as we finally walked out of the gym and I had basically unloaded my life story on her (I never do that, she had that effect on me) was "All the suffering and trials you've gone through are going to serve a purpose in your life down the line somehow. You will get well, and when you have peace in your life I believe you will turn around and help bring that peace to other people who are suffering somehow."

Seriously the most unexpected gym conversation of all time.
 
Hate to say it, but I find that about 3 women in 4 at the gym who are in shape and athletic have either had an eating disorder or currently have one. I work with 5 female trainers and 4 have had an eating disorder at one point or another. Not a huge stretch, sadly enough.

Doesn't really surprise me. In my case the gym is part of the healing process. In some cases it's part of the disease.
 
I think being unable to accept it is a somewhat normal response especially given yopur previous problems with self acceptance...or at least it would be for me

if I'm complimented in any way I generally just wonder what the other person wants and view it as insincere

k, real talk.
those dudes that are calling you badass are probably doing it in a condescending way, being sexist and making fun of a girl supposedly doing a man's recreation.
not necessairly cause they think you are hott.

lol, No. The comment about guys trying to get in my pants was a joke based on what everyone here has said about those various remarks I've gotten. I get really fucking annoyed when someone dismisses any positive compliment as an attempt to get in my pants, because I feel like it devalues anything I may have done to deserve it. But it was a joke.

That said, I can 100% promise you it wasn't any kind of making fun of me bullshit, because that particular person continued to try and hit on me for months afterward (it was a couple of years ago). What straight guy would do that to a cute girl who is training hard anyway? That would be pretty geigh. Unless he was trying to neg her, which would still mean the guy was trying to hit on her lol.

Sounds to me like she has the gift of discernment ( i think that's the one. ) In your writing I know you believe in "gifts of the spirit" however the gift she lacks is discretion, and if she's offended just tell her so, that way she can grow more and continue to use her gift in an uplifting manner..


flame on indeed..

since you are used to the dismal winter MI is a pretty
good place to live imo.
summers are pimp...but currently the market is so down
a bro can live pretty good, housing is way cheap.
rach lives in a pretty cool MI city, conservative but clean
and low crime.
