“Our hearts are broken by the devastation from the floods in Wimberley and the tragic l0ss of so many lives – including a precious little Hunt cousin, along with several friend’s little girls,” she wrote in the Instagram post.
“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?” she added.

“That is a sacred and tender question — and one the Bible doesn’t shy away from,” Tavia, 53, continued. “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.”
According to Fox News, Janie was the great-granddaughter of late billionaire William Herbert Hunt, who was the brother of Clark’s late father Lamar Hunt.
Camp Mystic’s director and co-owner Richard “Dick” Eastland is reported to have di3d while trying to help rescue some of the children.
The family of young camper Lila Bonner also confirmed to PEOPLE that she had di3d.
“The family of Lila James Bonner is heartbroken to confirm the news of her l0ss,” read the statement on Saturday, July 5. “In the midst of our unimaginable grief, we ask for privacy and are unable to confirm any details at this time.”
“We ache with all who loved her and are praying endlessly for others to be spared from this tragic l0ss,” they added.
