Chiefs heiress Gracie Hunt speaks out after losing family member in devastating Texas floods
Chiefs heiress Gracie Hunt shared a religious message on her Instagram account Monday after her family lost a cousin, Janie, in the tragic Texas flooding. '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,' Hunt wrote. '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.'

Anne Hunt via Fox News Tavia Hunt, Gracie's mother and the wife of Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, revealed Sunday that a cousin died in the central Texas flood that has killed at least 100 people. Janie was one of the 27 Camp Mystic campers or counselors who died in the tragedy. Advertisement 'Our hearts are broken alongside our families that are enduring this unimaginable tragedy. We are praying for them constantly,' the camp wrote on its website. Janie, 9, was the great-granddaughter of William Herbert Hunt, the brother of late Chiefs founder Lamar Hunt. Gracie and her younger siblings, sister Ava and brother Knobel, are Lamar's grandchildren.

Follow The Post's coverage on the deadly Texas flooding 'How do we trust a God who is supposed be all 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.' Advertisement Gracie's post included one section each from 2 Corinthians 4:16–18 and Psalm 23:4 as guiding principles while the family deals with this heartbreak. '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' Gracie wrote in her post. 3 Clark, Tavia and Gracie Hunt in February 2025.

But Scripture promises that one day, Christ will make all things new—a new heaven and a new earth (2 Peter 3:13).'

Burnout and Belief: Faith‑Based Journaling for Tired Hearts and Busy Lives
Introduction: When Holy Passion Meets Human Limits You love your work, your family, and your church—but lately the pace feels punishing. Emails arrive before dawn, meetings bleed into evenings, and the ministry you once cherished now drains more than it delights. If you're nodding along, you're not weak or unspiritual; you're experiencing burnout. Yet Scripture insists that God 'refreshes the weary and satisfies the faint' (Jer 31:25). One proven way to receive that refreshment is through a burnout and belief devotional journal—a simple practice that turns ink and paper into a place of encounter. Below you'll find an 800‑word, SEO‑optimized guide to help busy believers quiet their racing minds, reconnect with God, and rediscover joy. 1. Why Journaling Works When You're Worn Out Slows the swirl. Writing by hand forces your brain to decelerate, breaking the mental hamster wheel. Writing by hand forces your brain to decelerate, breaking the mental hamster wheel. Engages both sides of the brain. Combining Scripture, reflection, and doodles activates creativity as well as logic, embedding truth more deeply. Combining Scripture, reflection, and doodles activates creativity as well as logic, embedding truth more deeply. Creates a tangible altar. Your notebook becomes evidence of God's faithfulness—pages you can revisit when fatigue whispers lies. Takeaway: A journal doesn't add to your to‑do list; it transforms scattered thoughts into sacred conversation. 2. Gather a Grace‑Based Toolkit You don't need an art‑supply aisle to get started. Keep it minimal: Portable Bible in a translation you genuinely enjoy. Slim notebook—dotted or lined. Two pens (one dark for Scripture, one colored for personal notes). Sticky tabs to flag verses that speak directly to exhaustion. Stick this kit in your laptop bag so a five‑minute margin becomes a meeting with God. 3. Select Scriptures That Soothe a Spent Soul When time and energy are low, depth matters more than breadth. Rotate these micro‑passages: Rest & Renewal: Matthew 11:28‑30; Psalm 23 Matthew 11:28‑30; Psalm 23 Strength & Hope: Isaiah 40:29‑31; 2 Corinthians 12:9 Isaiah 40:29‑31; 2 Corinthians 12:9 Presence & Peace: Psalm 46:10; Philippians 4:6‑7 Read the verses aloud, circle one word that tugs at your heart—'rest,' 'grace,' 'strength.' That single word becomes the anchor for your entry. 4. The B.E.L.I.E.F. Framework (10 Minutes, Tops) Designed for lunch breaks, commute pauses, or bedtime wind‑downs. B — Breathe Spend 30 seconds inhaling deeply: 'Lord, I exhale hurry; I inhale Your peace.' E — Engage the Text Copy your chosen verse slowly. Let every word register. L — Listen to Your Heart Write one honest sentence: 'I'm anxious about tomorrow's presentation.' I — Invite God In Pray a short request: 'Jesus, stand with me in that conference room.' E — Exchange Burdens Draw an arrow → listing what you're handing over—deadlines, fatigue—and another arrow ← noting what you'll receive—wisdom, calm, joy. F — Finish with Thanks End in one breath of gratitude: 'Thank You for carrying what I can't.' Repeat daily; consistency converts tiny deposits into a reservoir of resilience. 5. Quick Journaling Hacks for Over‑Scheduled Lives Verse‑a‑Day Card: Jot a single verse on a sticky note each morning; reflect whenever you unlock your phone. Five‑Line Nightcap: Before lights‑out, record: one gratitude, one stress point, one answered prayer, one request for help, one promise to claim. Commute Refocus: Listen to an audio Bible chapter, then voice‑to‑text a two‑sentence prayer into your notes app the moment you park. Weekly Worship Collage: On Sunday afternoon, paste ticket stubs, sermon quotes, or kids' drawings into a page—visual proof of God's goodness amid chaos. These hacks keep the habit thriving without stealing precious minutes. 6. Track the Shift From Fatigue to Faith Dedicate a two‑page spread each week titled 'Burnout Barometer.' On the left, list drains: overtime, conflict, late‑night scrolling. On the right, list wells: worship music, a nature walk, seven hours of sleep. Watch how wells begin to outweigh drains as journaling redirects your focus. Celebrate even a 5 percent improvement—small wins compound into big breakthroughs. 7. Invite Safe Community Into the Pages Healing accelerates when burdens are shared. Snap a photo of one journal insight and text it to: A small‑group leader. A mentor who checks in weekly. A trusted coworker walking a similar path. Ask them to pray one sentence over your entry. Mutual vulnerability dismantles the isolation that often fuels burnout. 8. Guard the Rhythm With Boundaries New habits wither under relentless demands. Protect your journaling window by: Blocking calendar space —label it 'Soul Appointment.' —label it 'Soul Appointment.' Using tech limits —enable 'Focus' modes during that slot. —enable 'Focus' modes during that slot. Pre‑deciding a kind no to at least one optional task each day. Remember: even Jesus withdrew from crowds to pray (Luke 5:16). Obeying that example isn't selfish; it's survival. Conclusion: Write a New Story With God Burnout says you're stuck, but belief says God is still scripting your life. Each time you open a burnout and belief devotional journal, you invite the Author of peace to edit the narrative—replacing frantic paragraphs with lines of grace, strength, and unshakeable hope. Tonight, grab a pen, breathe deeply, and let one verse steady your heart. In those few quiet minutes, you'll discover that weary pages can become holy ground—where tired hearts meet a tireless God and busy lives find beautiful rest. TIME BUSINESS NEWS
