Simon: I have been thinking about the difference between procrastination and putting faith into action. Allowing Father to do His will through others or through waiting for the "time to be right." Sometimes I see that as procrastination in my action to do something.

Abraham: Procrastination could mean many things in service. There is procrastination and there is patience. You know within the feelings of "you should do something," but perhaps have fear or are apprehensive versus these feelings of "I will do something because it serves me." I have no doubt that you can examine your mind to find the real intention. Many times must you just step out in faith without thought and do what you are most believing in. Sometimes actions are taken from an animal instinct side. I would suggest
that you see where your inner feelings are leading you, and if these feelings persist, then I would say that it is time to take action. If you feel driven toward something, allow time, journaling and stillness to find the origin of this driving force. Is it pure? Is it serving the whole? Is it for self gain or a form or ease seeking?
