Freak her out and give her a small gift - - maybe a candle you've made.
Prehaps, the way she acts toward you is because she doesn't understand you or feels threatened by you?
Given a gift might break the barrier.
Good idea, but I'm not there yet. I'd feel like a hypocrite. If I gave her a gift, I'd have to be sincerely sincere. That isn't happening this week. LOL! Pray for me!
I do agree with you, in that, I also believe she feels threatened by me. I think as time goes by and she sees that I am NOT competing with her, she will eventually calm down.

I think that is the whole reason!

I agree and I think through time we will work this out.
I've also observed people who have spent years in the medical industry are a bit more aggressive and a part of them seems to become a little unfeeling. That's just my observation. Perhaps others have seen a different side or have a different view.
I just joined the choir at my new church-- I used to be a member of it before a long time ago. But the brother I sat next to in practice-- I think I made him uncomfortable. SO I was uncomfortable and was paralyzed by that discomfort because all I really wanted was to make friends with the lady on my left and the dude on my right.
I felt so awkward, so out of place-- I think I get on this guy's nerves!
He and his family are newer to the church than I am.

I'm sorry about this Jermyn! Since you just joined maybe this brother will settle down after he gets to know you. So many people are introverts, it's hard to reach out to them, fully, in the beginning. They have to feel less threatened or more comfortable. That may possibly happen if you have some function outside of church where many people tend to relax more.

Lord, it's so hard for me to do this. It's like being a liar, so I just do the avoidance thing. LOL! I can't separate the fake thing and the liar thing in my mind. I've never been able to do that.

Do it because it will please God. Read Romans 12. And keep in remembrance that we are all the children of God and all part of the body of Christ. We are members one of another.
Hope that helps.

I don't think it will please God if I'm not sincere in the gift giving and I'm honestly not today. I'm working on it though and will report my victory at some point. If I'm nice and polite He will be pleased with me.
One time I stood beside her when she was praying at the altar and she walked off. She didn't want me to pray with her, so there is a little more of a conflicted story here. Not sure what it is about. I'll learn something though.
I will read Romans 12 this afternoon, Mizpeh! Thanks!

It is a lie when you are being fake toward people for your own image.
It is NOT a lie to "fake it" if the intention is that you are working on YOU, and you are doing your best to be like Christ.
Papa George used to say that if the truth would hurt someone, keep your mouth shut.
at least that is my personal veiw.
