It is hard being a Christan and a normal human , without it seeming hypocritical . Alot of times it is hard to differentiate what "Church" is or that church ppl are like. I grew up in church but in the same token Im no Nun. I'm Just speaking on this topic because it is a part of me, This does not mean all my texts and posting will be quoted with scripture but it doesnt mean that I will "Odee" and do unrightful things simply because thats just not me. Im human just like you This blog is to touch and relate to everyy aspect of my life your life and what other ppl are really dealing with.
Here is an Outlook from a "PK" (Preachers Kid) Perspective
As if growing up in a chaotic society wasn't hard enough, being a "preacher's
kid" (pk) adds its own stuggle. For me it was hard, I lived a very sheltered
life. All I had was church. I didn't have friends outside of the church. My life
was the church! I was in any and everything! Choir director, lead of the dance
ministry, worship in praise leader....everything! It was hard for me to build
friendships with people in school because I had no time to go to gatherings with
them. I was in church tuesday, wednesday, friday and of course allllllll day
sunday. Being a PK was also hard because people sort of put you on a higher
pedestal. Sometimes people fail to realize they we are just like any other teen
or young adult growing trying to find themselves. When we fail to meet their
standards, you'll quickly here "well isn't that Pastor's daughter, she shouldn't
be doing that!" Example, one member of the church has a baby before wedlock, it
probably wouldn't be that much of a big deal but if its one of the pastor's kids
the whole world is talking. I know we've all heard the saying, 'preachers kids
are the worst ones.' That's another added pressure. We have to try so hard prove
that, that saying is untrue. *ephihany* are we actually the worst ones or is it
you expect us to be so perfect and high holy that anything we do or say that
doesn't met your expectations automatically classify us as "the worst." I
understand that we are supposed to set an example for the rest of the young
people coming up in the church but we are also human. The idea that we're gonna
live a perfect life, will never be a reality.
