I am the leader of our sign language group in my church. A new youth leader has been appointed, and I can't stand him! I know that sounds terrible, but he just will not cooperate! We are supposed to be working together, but he just will not. He is childish and immature, and he constantly undermines me. I have smiled and gone along when he changes programs and schedules without talking to anyone about it, he has cancelled standing scheduled events that were planned b4 he was put in his position, and not he is goofing off in my sign language groups. He is 21, but acts 10. He laughs at the kids trying to learn sign and he moved a scheduled concert up one month to accomodate himself! I'm at my wits end! I know my feelings are quickly turning wrong. I have spoken with the pastor, but it seems to have fallen on deaf ears. I've even thought about resigning and finding a new church. I really need prayer for God to help me (and him) in this. Should I leave, quit, or let him keep running over me
How Can I Deal With This???

Have you gone to Christ? Its His church and He sits in heaven with all power and authority. Nothing can happen to you with out the will of God. Now could this be Jesus teaching you patience not only with others but with Himself as He is bringing this in your life? If you have in a godly way confronted both him and your minister, do you have Elders to go to? Once you do all that is right for you to do just make it a matter of prayer both about your weakness and the situation that you think is not good for the others in the church and wait on the Lord. He does really have this matter in control and is bringing about some good purposes so be careful not to take matters to far into your hands as He is able.
