I recently resurrected my Noble Planner and would like to use it again for 2009. Are the pages still available? I cannot seem to find them on your Noble Institue sites.

Thank you for a reply

Sir, I’d like to thank you for this blog post. It did well to provide me with Biblical insight into the sin of procrastination as well as discouraging such behaviour/habit. I recently read a post on your sons’ blog, TheRebelution, regarding failure, something that I believe to be the uncomely result of procrastination. It was inspiring as well and I thank you for encouraging them to stand as rebelutionaries in their ministry.

This post in particular echoes down the corridor of time in my life. In the past, I had once found myself putting things off in fear of failure or perhaps interfering with God’s timing. My every intent was to succeed eventually, but how little did I actually act on them!
Now as a young adult emerging from my last years of adolescence, I look back to when I once felt the sting of the sin of procrastination. From that experience, I learned that, as Brett stated, “Failure is never wasted if we learn to…turn to God and become more reliant on Him, learn from our mistakes, and get back up and try again”.

In a short time I realized through God’s Grace that procrastination was not to be mistaken for being patient and waiting on God to reveal His Will for my life: divinity will not do what humanity can and must do. Though I still struggle, God stands now as the corner stone for my young life and I know that though I am waiting for His Will to be revealed to me, I can still actively progress and purposefully further my development and “usefulness” in preparation for the rest of my life and ministry.

Youth must purposefully step up and resist the temptation of putting things off. Your entry has been a refreshing voice of encouragement and a practical insight into how we ought to live. I thank you sincerely.

May God continue to bless you and your family,
Melissa
