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.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

Brooke Davis

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:
