10 Signs You Are a Preacher's Daughter
Snyder Bible Church
  • Every single clothing you buy you have to make sure its church appropriate

You know, you go to a clothing store without your mom and find the perfect pair of jeans… then you see that small hole on the knee. No, that’s cancelled.

  • You’ve gone to every church function “voluntarily”

Men’s Fellowship, church meetings, deacon meetings you name it… you’re there. And you are probably begging some of your church friends to come with their parents so you’ll have some company.

  • You’ve made amazing friendships… and watched them leave

You’re always weary of becoming friends with someone in church, because at any moment the church could split or they (or your family) could leave. It’s heartbreaking.

  • You’ve been an example in a sermon at least once a month.

The phrase, “She is going to kill me for this…”, automatically earns your dad an evil glare but your congregation gets that fake laugh.

  • First concert was probably a Christian concert…I’m guessing winter jam

But come on, Toby Mac is awesome.

  • You don’t even know how to date

What is a date? Is that those things people who aren’t daughter of preachers get asked on because they are too intimidated by us?

  • You hear the phrase “Oh you’re a preacher’s daughter? Aren’t those like THE WORST??” too many times

Yes. I am a preacher’s daughter. No, I am not bad. I have never done anything bad. Yes, I am serious.

  • You probably teach Sunday school or at least fill in

You know, when the kindergarten teacher doesn’t show up and your father graciously offers your services to these little snotty kids. And you have nothing prepared. Nothing. It’s a joy, really.

  • You are held to an extremely high standard

I remember the first time I experienced this. And the next, and the next, and so on…it never really ends.

Your relationship with Christ is unique, and you work hard on it every day

Like that standard thing, you are expected to have the best relationship with God and know every single Bible verse by heart.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
