As you can tell, I am a new Christian by my name. However, I need some
Christian advice.
I recently started a new job and met a christian co-worker, however I have been here for slightly over a month and I find her very judgemental if not down right selfish. I need help on how to deal with her.
I find it hard to believe that I am saying this but then there has been a chain of events that have happened to make me realize that this is really happening from another Christian. I am disappointed and trying to remind myself that Christians are only human and that if God can forgive our sins, I should be as well...but....its quite hard when you see her 5 days/week.
First of all, she has told me that she has been a Christian longer than me and said her whole family are Christians. She said to me, "you've only been to church for less than a year? oh....." The tone was unfriendly and the look on her face was not that nice. Anyways, I forgot about it after a while since I didn't think anything of it at the time.
A few times recently at work, she has basically not been sharing her work with me and is not telling me anything on how something should be done, even though CLEARLY our boss/manager has told her to pass on the stuff to me. Maybe she feels threatened that I might take over her job, but that is not the case at all in my mind. Another time when I performed a task, she did not tell me there was an error until it was too late even though i have told her to look at the whole report long time ago. My boss said she should be looking at it for me before it goes out to the other departments. There have been a few more events but I tried to brush it off since I cannot believe it is happening. The last draw happened recently when she decided to dump a pile of paper on my desk with no explanation and said "boss said you're doing this so here it is." then she walked off.
I am having a hard time believing this is happening and trying my best not to judge her, but some of the comments and her hostility is making me realize I am not imagining things.....
How should I be facing her from now on since from her hostility, it is quite hard to deal with since she is quite selfish and sometimes, I do need her help at work but she has been very unco-operative. I have not yet told my boss since I am new here and don't want to cause a stir of things.
How do I keep my faith strong in this case since it is very disappointing to see other Christians acting like this?(I still find it hard to believe this is happening.....sigh)
