When You Feel Inadequate…
For the LORD your God is a merciful God, He will not forsake you nor destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which He swore to them.
- Deuteronomy 4:31
But You, O LORD, are a shield for me,
My glory and the One who lifts up my head.
- Psalm 3:3
My voice You shall hear in the morning, O LORD;
In the morning I will direct it to You,
And I will look up.
- Psalm 5:3
Though an army may encamp against me,
My heart shall not fear;
Though war may rise against me,
In this I will be confident.
For in the time of trouble
He shall hide me in His pavilion;
In the secret place of His tabernacle
He shall hide me;
He shall set me high upon a rock.
- Psalm 27:3,5
It is better to trust in the LORD
Than to put confidence in man.
- Psalm 118:8
He gives power to the weak,
And to those who have no might He increases strength.
Even the youths shall faint and be weary,
And the young men shall utterly fall,
But those who wait on the LORD
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.
- Isaiah 40: 29-31
Fear not, for I am with you;
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.
- Isaiah 41:10
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you.
When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned,
Nor shall the flame scorch you.
- Isaiah 43:2
I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.
- John 14:18
In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials,
That the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ,
Whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory,
Receiving the end of your faith—the salvation of your souls.
- 1 Peter 1: 6-9

Hungarian Men
What about Hungarian men? An Australian woman made this comment, many other foreign women have said the same:
“When they are courting you, they are incredible. They focus on you like you are the only other person on the planet and that is the way they would love for it to be. But they are so jealous it is like an incurable disease. If I say hello to another man who may be an acquaintance they start asking questions and give him dirty looks. They want you to cut off all of your male friendships with people they don’t know and go insane if you spend time with any other man.”

How to be a Yank – The American Century
How to be a Yank – excerpts
by George Mikes
THE AMERICAN CENTURY
The position of the American in his own estimation. The curvature of the earth’s surface renders it impossible to observe this position without some distortion of perspective. The possible margin of error in the above diagram is about the width of the Atlantic Ocean.
But can we trust them as leaders? . . . When I was a small boy we used to play football every Saturday afternoon in the field (it would be called the village green in England). Our centre forward was always the same little boy, let’s call him Sammy. There was always a great deal of argument as to who should be in the team and what position one or another boy should occupy. But there was never any argument about the position of the centre-forward. It had to be Sammy. He was not a very good player; he could not use his left foot at all. But he wanted to play centre-forward and centre-forward he played. The ball belonged to him.
