For all the females.... :)

Haha, ok, so I just gotta say this, MOM's are GREAT. They just are. They know you better than you know yourself. :) Ok, so this just made me laugh hardcore at my rediculousness last night so I thought I'd tell all of you haha! So for the past couple of days or so I've been just kinda moping around....I started getting all self-conscious and what-not, I was kinda depressed and just didn't want to involve myself in anything. I couldn't figure out what was going on and I couldn't sort anything out in my head. Then I started to stress out about random things. SO in my loneliness I gave my mom a call. I just wanted someone to talk to right? So I ask her how she's doing and almost immediately she's like, "Brittany, are you alright?" I'm like, eh, I'm ok...- and from then flows all of my emotional baggage. haha! Mom was awesome though. She listened and then was like, "Brittany, you need to stop basing everything off of your feelings. Your being very fearful right now and that is not of God. If you went through life by the seat of your pants your just going to be blown from one thing to another. You need to have faith." Then I responded (I was pretty emotional at this point ha!) and was like, "then WHAT's the point of having emotions if you can never USE them!" hahaha! I'm very laughable at times like these. So at that key indicator phrase of rediculousness my mom chuckled and asked me three crucial questions that are KEY to understanding the emotional roller-coaster that is Brittany Gresset. haha!
1) Brittany, is this about a boy? (my answer: no.)
2) Brittany, is this about school? (....kinda?)
3) Brittany, are you on your period right now? (......maybe. ;) haha) She laughed and said, well, THAT explains a LOT. :) haha!
.....and with those three answers she knew exactly what to prescribe to me. This was her response.
1) "You need to go to bed." (SO true.) (Late nights thinking by myself for extended periods of time is not always a good thing for me.)
2) "Have you had some chocolate yet?" (This made me smile.)
3)"God is still active in your life. Don't act as if he's stopped. He never stops investing in people so neither should you."

I liked the logical answer first. (That's probably my dad's influence. :) He's all about efficiency and logic.). It was an immediate solution that I could look forward to. Then the second answer was something that I could physically act upon, and then the third answer was a word of solidity and affirmation that I could take with me and remember. I thought it was so cool how she handled me. It totally calmed me down in all of the areas that I needed it. God mightily used her last night. :) I was a happy camper today, so the solutions, although very simple, worked! :) hehe.

Haha, so I'm not quite sure as to why I wrote this blog, but think of it in terms of a tribute to mom's everywhere and their intimate knowledge of their children which I am so thankful for.... :)
