One of Our Greatest Gifts

Estimated arrival date: August 26, 2008
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.

I loved looking at your photos and your little growing belly. I am sure it feels HUGE to you already, but just wait...you will be amazed by what your body is about to accomplish - stretching to proportions you never thought possible! Judah is rolling around as I type...I wonder if he is trying to tell me that you are having a boy too? Hmmmm....sonogram pic is impossible to see? I don't even have a guess, but I am so excited to know who Baby Maybe will be =). Precious and perfect, no doubt!

I love you Mrs. Amanda. The way you write is delightful and I am growing more in love with this Baby. And I am so thankful to peer into your and Steve's journey testifying of the glory of Father God. So can I be an aunt? Is that too forward? :) Love ya'll! - Heather B
