You Definitely Grew Up In Church If...

In This Article:

You still refer to main service as "big church."

I have grown up in church my whole life and I am 17 years old and I still refer to the main service in the sanctuary as "big church." It happens...

When mom or dad tells you no, you know exactly which "church grandma" to go to in order to get your way

When you grow up in church you call just about every elderly lady in the church "grandma" and you never fail to get a piece of candy or get your way when mom or dad says no.

You know just about EVERY. SINGLE. Hymn in the Hymnal book

This is the most common sign of someone that has grown up in church their whole life. You can burst out in "I'll Fly Away" at any given moment.

There is no better cooking than church potluck cooking

Every single lady in the church doesn't just cook... they COOK

You got the evil eye from your momma while she was up in the choir 

Odds are you were probably talking when you shouldn't have been.

Church pews become like a second bed 

You can not honestly sit here and tell me that you've never used a church pew to take a nap on...

Sunday naps are the best naps

The Lord created Sunday's for church and after church naps. There is just something special about Sunday afternoon naps.

You know every single word to every single Veggie Tales song there ever is 

"If you like to talk to tomatoes..." I know you want to sing along, so go ahead. I won't judge.

You feel completely out of place if you miss one Sunday at church 

I don't know about you, but I feel completely out of place if I miss one Sunday at church and when I return the next week I feel like its been 20 years since I've been there.

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.
