After waiting a long time for their family to grow, Luke & Abigail Sikma used their love of homemaking & renovating to create a warm & welcoming home that became a muse for her blog, formerly known as Our Blue Abode. Sharing stories of their journey & encouragement for others, this children's book is an honor to that chapter in their lives. Themed on infertility, Our Blue Abode, a house with an empty room focuses on the importance of waiting on God's timing.
A family moves into the blue house on Washington Street, dreaming of filling the empty bedroom with a sweet baby. As they wait & wait & wait, they fix up the walls to make a warm & welcoming home. The time comes to move from the Blue Abode, only to begin their next home remodel journey, still praying to fill the empty bedrooms.
A rhyming story with peaceful, simple illustrations, this book teaches children...
- The importance of waiting on God's perfect timing
