Welcome
It was Christmas Day when we received the best present ever! We found out that we would be adding a new memeber to the Offutt Family. The Lord sure had been preparing our hearts for this gift and we are super excited! We ask that you would join us in prayer for this little life.
Naming Our Baby
Well we've finally got a name. Emmaus
This come from the biblical account in Luke 24 where Jesus meets with two of the disciples and proves His ressurection. He also goes on to explain all the scriptures from Moses to that present time concerning who He is. He opened up their eyes and their famous phase "did our hearts not burn within us" captured my heart. Steve and I desire and prayer for our little girl is that her heart would burn for the things of God and for Jesus Himself.
The road that Jesus met these disciples was called "Emmaus."

Interestingly this journey of pregnancy has been life changing and i have had my share of encounters with Jesus on "the road to Emmmaus'" birth.
