When you get that, you

know he's tuned into you.

That's the foundation

we're going for.

We need that before we

can go on to other things.

You off to church?

You know, you're

always invited.

I know.

Well, I'll be back

in a couple of hours.

Okay.

You look hot.

What, this old thing?

I kind of like

this sneaking around.

Diane.

Oh, hi.

I've been keeping you

and Ashley in my prayers.

How is she doing?

I really need you

to continue to pray.

Right now, she's trying

to face her struggle,

without God.

Please watch over us as we

go out into the world this week

and encourage us to

share Christ's love.

In Jesus' name, amen.

So how are things

going with your aunt?

Pretty good, I guess.

I mean, it's better than being

at home with my mom right now.

Are you back to riding again?

Not yet, but I will soon.

I kind of even have my

own horse right now,

for a while anyway.

What do you mean?

Well, we rescued him from

some old run-down place.

What happened?

The family just left him.

They couldn't afford

him, or didn't care.

That's too bad.

Yeah.

So have there been

any stressful situations

we should talk about?

It's been okay.

Okay?

Have you had any contact

with anyone from your past,

any type of contact?

No.

No one.

This one in that hand,

this one in the other

and hold the reins strong.

This one towards the center.

Good job, Ash.

I don't know.

We were all over the place.

You'll get it.

It's something you

haven't done before.

You can't expect

to just know it.

You're learning.

Steering seems pretty basic.

Is this your horse?

Well, for a while, I guess.

Can I pet him?

Sure.

What's his name?

Winston.

Hey, Ash.

I have a chiropractor

appointment later.

Can you feed the horses

for me tonight?

Yeah, sure.

Great, thanks.

Can you untie him and put his

blanket on him when he's dry?

Yeah, okay.

It's not too bad, I

just don't want him eating

until he's completely

cooled down.

Got it.

And your mom

should be here soon.

Can I help Ashley

feed the horses?

Sure, as long as you're

ready to go when she gets here.

Okay.

Who are you talking to?

Oh, no one.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

You're supposed to

be watchin' my back.

Let's go.

Texting Ashley?

Yeah.

How it's going?

Don't worry.

I'm wearing her down.

She'll be back

with us in no time.

Do you like being here?

I guess.

You look so sad.

I just have a lot on my mind.

When I'm sad,

I usually talk to God.

That always makes

me feel better.

Where's Diane?

She had a doctor's appointment.

Oh, she didn't tell me.

I could have come sooner

if I would have known.

We were doing fine.

It was fun to help.

Yeah, well, we
