4) Be faithful to your church.
This is kind of hard topic to discuss. For those of you who know my family, you know just how faithful we have been to our church. When our friends left, we remained and listened to conversation after conversation about why we should leave. We dealt (and still deal with) bitterness and grudges held by people who still attend Life. Through all this, we believe God has placed us in the situations and places He has for a reason, and until He says it's time to go, we won't budge. (I know, we're an odd family). This is hard for all of us, but we've learned to persevere and even though we don't always agree with decisions made, we have remained faithful to God's plan for our church! We're sold out to a greater vision than our own, and it's difficult for us to find excuses for leaving when so many people are surrendering their lives to Christ!! If you are ever tempted to leave, make sure you aren't making a decision from hurt and that it is truly God calling you elsewhere.

Wow, you make it sound so spiritual. I could not have said it better. Though, if they don't go back to Coke products soon, I may reconsider.
