My ABC’s

I… Day 9 My Definitions for verbs starting with I

I – Illuminate:  brighten or provide with light; decorate with lights; clarify or make understandable; enlighten spiritually or intellectually;  fame; I celebrate.

I – Illustrate:  clarify (especially by use of examples); to make clear or reprehensible; to give honor to; to glorify.

I – Improve:  become better; to increase or advance productivity, value or quality.

It’s my business to improve each day. An acronym developed by Anthony Robbins, is  CANI standing for  Constant And never-ending Improvement.

I – Instruct: to advise; to direct; to teach.  Instructing excites me.  I love to teach something that will help a friend, a stranger, or a child. I learn when I teach!

Reflections of the first “job” I did  was to teach  girls in our church to play chords by ear.  I don’t remember exactly how much they paid, I think it was 50 cents.  Soon, I put it together I should teach them as a group and still collect 50 cents each.  It was a good business!  As I recall, I was 13.

I – Implore: beg someone earnestly to do something. Implore is another exciting verb beginning with I.

I implore you to identify any strong holds that keep you from doing the desires of your heart. Give God control and he will make a way for you to achieve your goals.  I am serious….do it and let me know the results!

I – Identify: It is my job and your job to identify truth in our life.  Have you ever heard a story that made you angry, or disappointed with someone.  I have. Worse, I reacted to the story as though it were true.

A lesson learned the hard way was it is better to be quiet and respond later than to react and be sorry. Identifying truth is still an ongoing project for me.

I – Identity:  A close cousin to identifying lives identity.  Making it personal, as a little girl, I was a child, and knew my place.  Then, I grew up…and hey I was; an adult, a wife, a Mother, an Educator, a Real Estate Broker, and a  business owner. Finally came the big Question. Who am I? I am no longer a wife, my parents are deceased so I am not their “little girl”  Who am I? Did I ever belong to the woman who abandoned me? Did I belong to my adoptive parents? Do my adult children need me? Have I fulfilled my purpose?Oh, perhaps my grandchildren and close friends need me.  Haha, it’s easy to let the mind play games.

 I believe I know the answer and my purpose. You will know soon! For now,

Go Forth and Prosper,
