“Some days it is difficult to understand how the world can hold both so much beauty and so much pain. How can the same god who created the stars and set the planets in motion, allow such deep suffering? The truth is, we live in a broken world – one that moans after redemption,” she wrote with reference to a passage from the Romans. “But Scripture promises that Christ will one day make all things new – a new sky and a new earth (2. Peter 3:13).
“My heart is hurting our extended family and friends who lost daughters – for every lost life and every family crushed by the floods in Texas. I have no easy answers, but I know: following Jesus does not spare us from pain – but that means we never face it alone.
“Even in the darkest valleys, we hold on to the hope that this is not the end of the story.”

The flash floods killed more than 100 people in the state. In Kerr County, home to youth camps in Texas Hill Country, seekers have found the bodies of 84 people, including 28 children, officials said Monday.
Ten girls and one advisor were still not mentioned at Camp Mystic.
President Donald Trump also told Morristown journalists, New Jersey, on Sunday he would probably visit Texas on Friday.
“We have been in contact with head of government Abbott and very close to government head Abbott. And everyone in Texas. Kristi Noem has, as you know, been there and will continue to be there. And we work very close to Texas representatives,” Trump said.

“And it’s a terrible thing that took place. Slightly awful. So we say, God bless all the people who have gone through so much, and God bless the state of Texas. This incredible place.”
