"Some days, it’s hard 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 groans for redemption," she wrote citing a passage from Romans. "But Scripture promises that one day, Christ will make all things new – a new heaven and a new earth (2 Peter 3:13).

"My heart aches for our extended family and friends who lost daughters – for every life lost and every family shattered by the floods in Texas. I don’t have easy answers, but I do know this: following Jesus doesn’t spare us from pain – but it 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."
