On the Floor...

It has been told to me by those who were there that will I was in my mother's womb; my mother was on the floor of a Pentecostal church getting either saved, delivered, or reclaimed. With an entry like that, how could I possibly be anything other than a church girl? I noticed that pattern alot. Whenever a woman was pregnant in the church, especially the Black Pentecostal Church, all of the older women (ages 50 and up) would walk by her at different times and lay their hands on the stomach of the pregnant woman. I was told that these women were praying for the baby. This doesn't happen anymore in the church world. I wonder why. Who really knows? I am glad that whatever was happening to my mother, that while I was in her stomach; she was on the floor of a little Pentecostal Church getting some Jesus in her and in me. I thank God that I am a Church Girl.

Definition of A Church Baby

Church Baby: (n) 1. Someone who has been attending church since the age of three or four. 2. Someone who has served in a number of positions as a child and teenager in the church. I.E. junior usher board, junior deacon, etc. 3. Someone who when they go back to their home church (1st church home), the people there still think of them as that cute little "Surname" boy/girl eventhough you are grown. I.E. "Ain't you that Brown boy, Willie James' son/daughter?" 4. Someone who can imitate the praise style of almost any person who they see praise after watching them one time. This is very prelivant in the Pentecostal movement. 5. Someone who can say all of their books of the Bible, the Beatitudes, the 23rd Psalms, the Lord's Prayer, 2 Timothy 2:15, 1 Thessalonians 5:22, and some other important scriptures, Biblical facts, and Biblical history. You too might be a church baby if you fit two or more of the characteristics above.
