Blessed on Cinco de Mayo!

The Lord is already providing in big ways for our adoption of Hannah Ryan.  Yesterday, we were blown away by the love and generosity shown by our Sunday School class at Briarwood.  Sweet friends of ours who have a big crawfish boil every year planned a "surprise" for us this year.  They spread the word to everyone in our class that this year they wanted to use the event as a way to raise funds for our adoption.  They were praying that the Lord would raise $1000 from the evening...God exceeded expectations and over $2000 was raised last night by our amazing friends.  Ryan & I are so blessed to be in the Heritage Builders class at Briarwood.  We are so thankful that the Lord has placed us in such sweet community.  Thanks to each of you for making Cinco de Mayo 2012 a day that the Akers will never forget!
