Summarize the following:
Some garters may just slip on. However, most will have a hook and clasp system or Velcro. Wrap it around your waist. Usually the closure goes in the back. Adjust it so it stays up but is comfortable. Wrap the belt around your waist. It should sit about at your waistline. Attach it at the back by sliding the hooks into the clasps. Choose the line of clasps that is the most comfortable for you. This step is basically like attaching a bra. If you have trouble attaching it in the back, hook it together in the front, and then move it around to the front. Pull up your thigh highs to the right height. Start adjusting the straps to meet the top of your hose. You'll want your straps to be at slightly different lengths. The ones in the back should be the longest, giving you room to bend over. The straps on the sides should be an inch shorter, and the ones on the front should be two inches shorter than the back, all of which will help you bend easier. It also helps when you sit down. Each clasp consists of a rubber nub and a metal piece that fits over it. To attach it, put the rubber nub underneath the top edge of the stocking. The clasp should reach straight down to the stocking, unless it's sewn on at an angle. It should fall about an inch past the top of the stocking. Slide the metal clasp over the nub. Pull up so the nub slides into place. Repeat with the remaining clasps around the belt. When you fasten a clasp, push the rubber nub from behind so that you can see it sticking out through the front. However, don't push so hard that you tear a hole in your stockings. The top of each clasp has a wide end and a narrow end at the bottom. Start with the wide end, sliding it over the nub, then pull up so the narrow end is surrounding the nub, holding it in place. Be careful if you have plastic clasps. If you apply too much pressure to a plastic clasp, it will snap in two, and your garter won't be usable. You'll likely need to readjust once you've gotten your stockings settled to make sure they're at the right height. In addition, you'll probably need to readjust throughout the day. An easy way to do this is to check on them when you're in the bathroom. Make sure you sit down and stand up with the garter belt on so you can see how it fits. You don't want it to have too much tension when you sit down because it might pop off. However, when you stand up, your thigh highs should be mostly taut, as you don't want them pooling at your ankles. Loosen and tighten the straps as needed. This step may seem counter-intuitive. A belt should go on the outside of your undergarments, right? Well, not if you want to use the bathroom more easily. If you put your panties on before the belt, you'll have to undo the straps, take off your garter belt, and pull down your underwear to use the restroom. Putting your underwear over the belt and straps prevents that problem. Therefore, if you're only going to wear the garter belt for a little while, it's fine to put your underwear on first. However, if you plan to wear it all day, you might want put your underwear on last, though under your skirt or pants, of course. You can also go without underwear if you prefer.

summary: Put the garter on. Put on your pantyhose. Attach the garter clasps to your thigh highs. Readjust as needed. Put on your underwear last.

Prayer is vital throughout all parts of this process. Thank God for the worship session after it passes, even when things did not go the way you would've liked. Ask God for guidance as you reflect on the service and plan for next time. Shortly after the service ends, write a few notes for yourself about what did and did not work. Use these notes to as you plan for future worship sessions. A few things you might need to work on may include diction, volume, and pitch. You may not know how you'll sound in the sanctuary until you actually lead worship there once or twice. Make adjustments to the way you speak as needed to compensate for things like echo and poor acoustics. If others critique you or make suggestions, listen to them humbly and with an open mind. Some of the advice others give may not be practical, but some of it will be. Make sure that you're able to honestly distinguish the difference between helpful criticism and destructive criticism without letting your ego get in the way. Learning from your mistakes and mishaps is great. Dwelling on those problems and allowing them to negatively taint your thinking is not so great. Think about ways to correct mistakes of the past and let go of those errors as soon as you make plans to avoid them. Flaws and mistakes often serve as helpful reminders to keep yourself humble. Those imperfections can also remind the people you're leading that all of us are only human. If you accept your own faults gracefully, you can encourage those watching you to do the same.

summary: Pray some more. Take notes. Let go of past mistakes.

Deep down, everyone is a nerd about something. Learn a little about her hobbies, or whatever makes her happy outside of your relationship. Show genuine interest in them, and she'll appreciate the effort. You don't have to fake enthusiasm, or even fully understand what she's talking about. Just make an effort to follow her explanations. Don't take the relationship for granted. Set aside time to give each other your full attention, and put in the effort to make it feel special. Does she stop to pet dogs on the street? Did she call something you did cute in conversation? Make a mental note of these moments, and she'll probably tell you everything you can do to make her smile without even knowing it. "Sexy" and "gorgeous" can be great in the right context, but people need recognition on other levels as well. Make sure your girlfriend knows you appreciate her intellect and skill. Every relationship is different. Remember to think of what your girlfriend enjoys, instead of repeating what worked on your last significant other. Sometimes, you have to let your girlfriend be mad, or sad, or whatever it is she's feeling. If she's going through a rough emotional time, don't tell her that everything's okay or that she just needs to cheer up. She should be able to trust you with every emotion she has, and seek support even when she's not up to smiling.
summary: Discover your girlfriend's interests. Make time for her. Keep an eye out for what makes her smile. Compliment her on the things that matter to her. Wipe the slate clean from your last relationship. Know when to let her frown.
