Q: Think of knowing God not by measurable events, but through an intangible presence in everything you do. God is Spirit, experienced intuitively, somewhat like experiencing love, air and gravity, and unfathomable love and grace.  Knowing of God has more to do with the heart (core beliefs) than with objects. The belief you form through faith and in a Higher Power than yourself, does not just happen. You do not wake up one morning, brush your teeth, and say, "today I am going to believe in God. Today I am going to have faith". Something has to happen for you to need and to seek out that faith.  If you approach faith from this premise, then you will see that believing in God is about reflecting on the impact He has on you and on others. You'll find that believing is not by material means but by personal development of spiritual faith, since God is generally viewed as a living spirit, not having a decaying body, He can be measured by intangible things, like acknowledging His presence, our beliefs, plus our ways and reactions. Think about all the things you believe in.  You may believe that a team is the best team in your sport, for example.  But what is this based on?  Do you favor them because they have superior statistics and more championships?  Chances are you favor them because of the specific impact they have on you as a fan.  Your appreciation for them is based on something inside you, individual, and immeasurable. Having faith involves taking a choice.  This means deciding to trust without absolute certainty.  Chances are you make decisions on faith every day.  If you've ever ordered food from a restaurant, you've taken a step of faith.  That particular restaurant may have a high customer rating and stellar health score, but chances are you haven't witnessed firsthand your food being made.  You have to trust that the chefs have washed their hands and prepared your food properly/safely. Seeing isn't always believing.  There are still things science can't measure, yet people still believe in them.  For example, astronomers cannot actually see black holes in outer space, because by definition they absorb materials and the light that is necessary for us to observe them.  But by observing the behavior of matter and the orbits of stars around a black hole, we can predict that one is present.  God is also non-viewable but has knowable qualities and observable influence, that draws people to Him. Think of a time a family member has been sick and gotten better.  Did you ever pray or hope to something higher for their recovery?  Maybe this event is like an orbiting star, and God is like gravity that is exerting His pull on all things. Probably across all religions that have a concept of God, this belief is constant: God created all things.  Because God is the creator, only He is in full control.  Relinquishing control of certain aspects of your life does not mean you are powerless.  Don't think of God as a puppeteer pulling your strings, but as a parent keeping you safe.  You still choose the course of your life, but life may not turn out the way you plan or wish.  In times like this, it's important to remember that God is there to help you.  Knowing that you are not in control of everything can be empowering.  Recovery programs like Alcoholics Anonymous are founded on the premise that people are not fully in control, and that belief in a higher power restores balance by yielding one's broken ego.  Once we accept that we cannot control everything, we learn to accept things we can control. Consider the Serenity Prayer: "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference."  There are many things you can change but things you can't. You may believe that there are higher powers that shape your life's outcome.  This is a great starting place for discovering faith in God.
A: Separate physical measurements from believing. Replace proof with trust. Stop trying to control everything.

Article: You don’t want to exactly copy anyone else’s style, but you should pay attention to what other people are wearing. What styles are you most drawn to? Once you start paying attention to what you like, you’ll know whether you are more into a crisp preppy look or if you favor a more laid-back street-style vibe. Identifying your style can help you be more fashionable. If you’re slender, you might want to wear horizontal stripes and dress in lighter colors to make you look more muscular. If you’re broad across the middle, dark colors can make you appear slimmer, and a belt will make your waist appear smaller. If you have an athletic body type, wear slim-fitting shirts and straight-leg jeans to show off your muscular figure. If you have an "average" build, you can wear almost anything — just avoid loose or saggy clothing. Check out fashion magazines, style blogs, Pinterest boards, and pictures of celebrities to get ideas of the kind of style you’re into. Remember that you’ll be wearing these looks to class, so look for styles that are appropriate for school. George Clooney might look great in a tuxedo, but it might not be the right outfit for history class. Sometimes the only way to know if something looks good on you is just to wear it. You might be all about the skater vibe, only to discover that you don’t like the way it looks on you. On the other hand, that shirt that your aunt got you might not seem like your style at first, but it could grow to become your favorite after you pair it with the perfect jeans. Middle school is all about finding yourself, so don’t be afraid to experiment with your look. You should know the difference between what you really like and what’s a trend right now. Think about looks from previous decades that look really dated. You probably wouldn’t wear wide-legged skater jeans from the 90s, or cut your hair in a mullet in the 80s today. Classic pieces like well-fitting jeans and button-down shirts or t-shirts are always in style.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Pay attention to what other people are wearing. Know what looks good on your body type. Find inspiration in magazines and online. Be willing to experiment. Don’t fall victim to trends.

Q: Tight, structured clothing and shoes may make you uncomfortable when you travel. They may also increase your risk of developing blood clots. Instead, wear something loose that fits you comfortably. Opt for stretchy pants with an elastic waistline and a loose fitting top, or wear a loose-fitting jersey or cotton dress. Pair your outfit with a pair of comfortable walking shoes, such as sneakers or supportive sandals. You may also want to dress in layers to help keep yourself at a comfortable temperature. For example, you could wear a short-sleeved top with a cardigan or pullover. That way if you feel a chill, you can simply throw on your cardigan. Buckle your seatbelt when you are going to be riding in a car, on a bus, or on an airplane. Make sure that the seatbelt is low around your hips and positioned under your belly. The top strap of a car seatbelt should go across your chest and be positioned above your belly. On an airplane, keep your seatbelt buckled even when the “fasten seatbelt” sign is off. Unexpected turbulence may jostle you around and could even cause injury if you’re out of your seat during severe turbulence. If you will be driving, position yourself as far away from the steering wheel as you can while still being able to fully operate your vehicle. Take some extra time to get adjusted and make sure that your position is both comfortable and safe. If you put your seat all the way back and it is hard for you to reach the steering wheel, you need to be closer to it. Don’t put yourself in unsafe positions just to create more distance between you and the wheel. Gas-producing foods can increase your discomfort while traveling, so it is best to avoid them while you’re in transit. To be extra careful, limit your consumptions of these foods up to 24 hours before you leave too. That helps keep any side-effects caused by last night’s dinner from derailing your morning flight plans.   Steer clear of carbonated beverages, beans, prunes, and any other food or drink that you know will make you gassy. For example, if eating raw vegetables gives you gas, then avoid eating raw vegetables until you reach your destination.
A:
Wear loose, comfortable clothing and shoes. Wear your seatbelt at all times while you’re in transit. Move your seat as far away from the steering wheel as you can when you drive. Avoid foods that make you gassy before and during travel.
