Turning to God after total loss in Goldsboro
Flooded out of her home of 30 years, Ruth Davis is relying on faith for what comes after Hurricane Matthew.
Posted — UpdatedRuth Davis found her home of 30-plus years beyond repair.
"The inspectors were out this morning, and they already condemned our residence," she said.
Making that news even harder was the fact that, when Davis left on Sunday morning under an evacuation order, she thought they'd be fine.
It had rained all day Saturday in Goldsboro, but, Davis said, "Everything come Sunday morning was nice and clear.
"I had no idea that we would not be going back in to live."
Davis has lived in her home since 1981.
"We were here for Fran, and Floyd came through, but we've never had anything like this," she said.
She is relying on her faith to handle what comes next.
"I'm not worried, I'm not despaired and I'm not in dismay," she said.
"We prayed before we left, and we committed everything into the hands of the Lord. So whatever the end would be, we knew it would be his will."
