Why In His Perfect Timing?

I discovered that someone else purchased the domain for my old blog name so after chatting with a good friend of mine and tossing back and forth different name ideas and changing things up I finally decided on In His Perfect Timing.


Why? I wanted something that spoke what my life means to me. The Heart of a Homemaker was really what I believed my blog was about. What I was writing came right from my heart to your screen. So now what. How else can I explain my life in just a few simple words?

I started thinking about what my life has been like so far. Everything working out in it's own time no matter how things look in the moment. It's not my timing that's working out. If it were it wouldn't have taken 2 1/2 years to conceive Monkey. Hubby wouldn't still be an unbeliever. Monkey would have never needed surgery at 3 years old. Hubby wouldn't have ended up being sick and in the hospital for over a month, especially at the time that it happened. There are so many things that I want to happen or wanted to happen that just didn't work out in my timing. It worked in HIS timing. And HE has made everything work out perfectly.

Yes there are still some changes I wouldn't mind discussing with Him and I do. My prayers on my lonely, homesick days are filled with "Why this right now?" but I trust His timing in everything.

Honestly, since our move to Oklahoma and all the decisions we have been making feel like we are finally walking down the path He has chosen for us. This door has been open for at least 6 years. We have already lived in Oklahoma once before and we were going to stay but then the situation changed and we ran back to where we felt at home.

But we are here! This is our new home and I'm really starting to fall in love with living here. I miss my family and friends but the more I get out, do things and meet people the more I find that this is home. This is where we are meant to be and this is the life we are meant to live. I can't wait to see what else He has planned and what is in His Perfect Timing.

Day 2 of 31 Day to Clean

So I have told you the other day that I'm going to start 31 Days to Clean by Sara Mae. (For that post go to 31 days to clean post). So I'm finally on day 2 after several days in between. This will be the way it is for me because not everyday I will be able to tackle a big task, like day number 2, but I did it today and that is what counts. So what was day 2...clean the refrigerator and freezer (at least the Martha part) so that's what I did. I cleaned the refrigerator not that long ago but I figured I would just do it again and I'm glad. Just after about 2 months (maybe 3) it really needed cleaned again and I'm really happy that it looks really nice and I can find all the stuff that is in there again. I think that I'm going to put this on my To Do list every other month. I think that would be really helpful and that way it stays clean. I'm just going to put it in my day planner and when I have some free time on day I will do it that month. Sounds like a pl...

WEDDING! Part 2: The Day Of

**Warning more Picture overload!** I couldn't help it! WEDDING DAY! (August 6, 2005) On our wedding day I was so excited! I got ready at my parents house and J. and the guys got ready at our house. It was so much fun to get our hair done at a long time friends  hair salon .  After that we headed over to my parents house to start getting ready.    Everyone was busy getting me ready and many people were up my dress trying to get my 'fluff' to stay up so I didn't have to hold my dress us when walking.  My dad was kicked out of the house until I was done. I wanted him to get the whole sh-a-bang when he walked in. This was interesting. I had to climb into the truck but was not allowed to step on the tailgate and I couldn't see my feet. It was so funny! It looks like we were going fast but we really weren't but that's how we got to the park.  THE CEREMONY! After all that hard work to make it so I ...

Monkey's Surgery

So I finally downloaded pictures and I thought I'd share the cute pictures of my little boy after his surgery he had in April. No one should have surgery at 3 years old but poor little Monkey had to have his gallbladder removed due to his blood disorder called spherecytosis.  I had to stay in bed with him afterwards. He didn't want me to go anywhere. However, being pregnant made it so I had to use the bathroom quite often so luckily he was OK with Aunt Tiffany or Grandma holding his hand while I went. He hadn't been aloud to eat for almost 48 hours. He was starving! He ate almost the whole plate of pancakes and the nurses were shocked he could eat so much. They kept encouraging us to get him up and out of the room later in the afternoon after the surgery. So we headed out in the wagon first. He wasn't to happy about being moved and we made him walk a little bit in the room but he was glad to be out.  Granny and Great Po...
