Well the name above is actually obtained from a show I am currently now 33 minutes in watching. It is stared by Will Smith and is a pretty good movie. 
Good not on the basis of action or etc but it got me thinking about how is happiness brought about, especially in a family.
Having learn about Maslow's theory on the hierarchy of needs [ Psychology : ) ] 
The movie shows me that there is a need for the lower levels, and is applicable to all man. In this show, it especially highlights welfare - rent, money and etc.. Well it got me thinking, if i were to traverse down life's path as a missionary, where the pay may not be certain, how then can I support my family? Will my wife then leave as the movie did? And truly as this questions flood my mind, worry swells up. But I realise a difference, or more like a key thing that I need to learn now that is faith. Faith on the Lord who sent me to provide sufficient and overflowing for me and my family. That perhaps is the difference that enables those who have gone before me such as Herbert to live in the unknowing.
So perhaps now the title should be - Awaiting in faith...
Prayer for the start of '08
Lord, help me to learn to surrender these matters to you, but at the same time not vegetate in complacency
