Flash flooding hit the state of Texas over them weekend and more than 100 people have died while dozens other remain missing, including the members of a girls summer cup. The two areas hit the hardest were Kerry County and Texas Hill County.
Tragically, a member of the Kansas City Chiefs ownership group lost someone in the flooding.
According to the Dallas Morning News, Janie Hunt, the 9-year-old cousin of Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, was one of the missing campers from Camp Mystic in the Texas Hill Country. Her body was found and identified Saturday afternoon.
She was the great-granddaughter of late American oil baron William Herbert Hunt.
“Our hearts are broken by the devastation from the floods in Wimberley and the tragic loss of so many lives, including a precious little Hunt cousin, along with several friends’ little girls.”
“How do we trust a God who is supposed to be good, all-knowing, and all-powerful, but who allows such terrible things to happen, even to children? That is a sacred and tender question, and one the Bible doesn’t shy away from. Scripture is filled with the cries of those whose hearts have been shattered, who still wrestle to trust the same God they believe allowed the pain.”
“If your heart is broken, I assure you God is near, he is gentle with your wounds. And He is still worthy, even when your soul is struggling to believe it. Trust doesn’t mean you’re over the pain; it means you’re handing it to the only One who can hold it with love and restore what was lost. For we do not grieve as those without hope.”
Thoughts and prayers with all those affected by this awful situation.
