How God has Provided the past 2 years

I struggle at times feeling that God is with me and that he takes care of me. I know that it is a lie, but I am human, I am a sinful creature, and that is just part of my nature. Something that Jon and I started doing probably about a year ago was to make a God Wall, a How God Provides wall. It has been amazing as I fill it in to see just how God as at work in our lives, even in the small details.

Two weeks after we got married and Moved to Omaha.

When Jon and I moved to Omaha, we had nothing but our clothes, bedding from College, and our Computers. We didn't know how God was going to Provide, but we knew he would, and here is parts of how:
