As I was pursuing my undergraduate degree in Event Management, I always said there was NO WAY I would ever be a wedding planner. It turns out those feelings didn't last long. As soon as I began planning my own wedding, I feel in love with the process of making fun decisions and keeping things organized. Now when friends are asking me for resources and tips on planning their day, I've felt embarrassed sending them my boring Google docs. 

So...I've decided to start designing fun resources to help plan your wedding day! YAY! I know there are plenty of free downloadable resources out there, but you can never have too many choices. The content included in these designs are helpful for event coordinators, photographers, and of course the bride herself. 

These are a few examples of black and white layouts. Each style has a matching itinerary, but not all are shown. Style 5 gives you an idea of what it would look like printed on light brown kraft paper.
See something you like? OR Need documents with more/less space for your bridal party? Let me know and I'd be happy to make edits or send sets your ways. 

There are more designs and different helpful resources in the making. I'd love to hear your thoughts! For now, Happy Wedding Planning! 

The Salt Company | Fall Retreat 2015 | The Glory of Adoption

We've spent months planning and praying for this weekend! Although my instinct is to have control in my life, it is so relieving to know that I have God on my side and He is the one who has ultimate power and control in all things. This weekend was incredible! Drew Stevenson from The Salt Company Iowa City joined us for our three day retreat to talk and teach on 'The Glory of Adoption'. 

As he taught through Ephesians and Galatians he was constantly reminding us of the unconditional love God has for us as His sons and daughters. 

We are rebels and our rebellion reveals our need for a father.

Galatians 4:4-6
​4 But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. 6 And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!”

We are so underserving yet God sent His one and only son who knew no sin to die for each and everyone of our sins! It's such a beautiful story to be adopted by God and never forsaken.
