After more than 30 minutes of trying to calm my twins while they cried in bed (they did not want to go to sleep) I go to check on my cute 3 year old and she says,
"That was a long day of the girls crying!"
I totally agree! :)

Days 19, 20, and 21
Day 19
The Invitation Seek
Read the account of Mary Magdalene in John 20:1-18.
The Journey
Examine your life. What is your greatest need?
Sometime today find a way to seek the Lord. Find in Christ the answers you long for. Dare to reach a new level of understanding.
Day 20
The Invitation Abide
Read the account of the disciples walking on the road to Emmaus, found in Luke 24:13-32.
The Journey
Learn to use the scriptures to receive personal revelation from the Lord.
Take some time today to find a scripture that speaks to you.
Let His Spirit abide in your heart by reflecting on that scripture throughout the day.
Day 21
The Invitation Remember
Read the story of Joshua and the crossing of the river Jordan in Joshua 3 and 4.
The Journey
Either figuratively or literally, gather twelve stones. Assign each stone to represent a blessing that you have recognized in your journey toward Christ.
Share these blessings with your family. Testify how you are coming to know the Healer, the Master, the Son of God, even Jesus Christ. What are the stories you can tell about how He has strengthened, enlightened, comforted, or otherwise blessed you?

Day 17, Day 18
Day 17
The Invitation Give All
Read the account of the rich young man in Mark 10:17-22 and the widow's mite in Mark 12:41-44.
The Journey
Think of someone you know who has given all in service to the Lord. What lesson can you learn from that person? How can you be more like him or her?
Commit today to give all you have in your service to the Lord. Choose one area where you feel you could give more. What changes will this require in your daily routines?
Day 18
The Invitation Understand Grace
Read Ether 12 and look for the blessings.
The Journey
Remember, grace comes after all you can do. Take time today to analyze a trying situation in your life. After you have done all that you can do, place it at the feet of the Lord. Keep a written record of the greater things and the unspeakable gifts that will come as He leads you to the promise.
