Description from homeschooloasis.com
Marilyns journey began with a groping wandering in many directions until she found the path or roadway in the wilderness on which the Lord wanted her to continue her journey. The landscape changed many times throughout her wilderness search and the adventures along the way were many and varied. However, each played a part in Gods plan to bring her into her promised land. In the midst, He was faithful to show her a door of hope through which she would enter more fully into His plan for her and her family.
One of the lessons she learned was that He did not want her to be planted in the wilderness, but rather each step of obedience would lead her closer to her promised land of righteousness, peace, and joy in her homeschool and family life.

“Ask Him to set you firmly on His path for you…”
