10 Signs You Are a Preacher's Daughter

  • 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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
