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.

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

Week #2 on THM

Well it's officially the end of week 2 on Trim Healthy Mama! I have tried some more new recipes from the book and from pinterest and I'm having so much fun with it. I also order some xylitol online to save money. I didn't realize how much sweetener I would be using but when you can make sweets for any meal or snack through out the day you can use quite a bit. Favorite Meals this week E pancakes from the book! Yum! I added in frozen berries to them while cooking and they were great and the boys loved them too. They got to have the added whipped cream or syrup on theirs. Fat Stripping Frappa! OMGOSH! This is going to be my go to summer morning drink! I can see myself making one of these up first thing in the morning to get my day going and then enjoying a yummy breakfast 3 hours later. Soon as warm weather hits Hubby's schedule will be packed full daily so my mornings will start early, like 5am early! So having a breakfast at 8:30 will be perfect timing! Cheese ...
