Living in Answered Prayers (Even in the Chaos)

This week has been nothing short of a whirlwind — the kind of full, overflowing schedule that leaves you both exhausted and incredibly grateful at the same time.

Between therapy appointments, softball games, work meetings, and a photoshoot, life has been moving at full speed. We’re wrapping up the school year, which always brings its own mix of excitement and chaos. Add in the girls’ friends’ birthday parties, hosting a family cookout, and preparing my speech for Access and Independence Day… and somehow, we’re still not done yet.

Behind the scenes, there’s been even more — getting the van fixed (because life doesn’t pause for breakdowns), and starting to prepare for our upcoming journey to New Jersey. Every day has required juggling, adjusting, and pushing forward, even when I felt stretched thin.

And in the middle of all of this, I’m still showing up for myself too — staying committed to my 28-day walking challenge. No matter how busy life gets, that commitment has been a reminder that taking care of myself matters just as much as everything else on my plate.

But in the middle of the busy… something incredible happened.

I am so excited to share that I will be modeling for Runway of Dreams at the Abilities Expo, May 1–3.

What an incredible opportunity. Truly.

Moments like this remind me why I keep going, why I say yes even when life feels overwhelming, and why I continue to show up — not just for myself, but for my girls and for every person who needs to see what’s possible.

This season is busy — there’s no denying that. But it’s also beautiful. It’s filled with purpose, growth, and doors opening that I once only prayed for.

And that’s the part I don’t want to miss.

Even in the chaos, I am beyond blessed and deeply thankful… because I am living in answered prayers.

Sometimes those prayers don’t come wrapped in ease — they come in the form of full calendars, tired nights, and stepping into moments that stretch you.

But they come.

And this week… I’m feeling every bit of that truth.
