Saving Winston Page #5

---

Oh, my redeemer

how you suffered.

Broken

I could never understand

how your heart was broken.

When the Father turned away.

Broken

I could never

understand the pain.

Of hanging on a cross so,

Lamb of God.

You sacrificed.

Your whole life

Ashley.

What time is it?

It's morning.

What are you doing out here?

I was reading about God

in your Bible.

Which part?

About the things Jesus said,

then about him dying

for our sins and stuff.

As I was reading,

I started crying,

'cause I had felt something.

When it says he died

for all our sins,

it means me too, right?

It means you too.

But I really messed up.

We all have, Ash.

We all have the same

capacity to sin.

Nobody's exempt from it.

But I know what Jesus did

on the cross was out of his

perfect and unconditional love

for me and because of that,

I try to abide by God's Word,

not because I feel like I have

all these rules to follow,

but because I love him back.

So what do I do now?

Jesus,

I believe that you are

the Son of God.

I believe that you died for my

sins and rose from the dead.

Please forgive me for my sins.

I take you now as my Savior.

I give you my life.

Thank you for saving me.

In Jesus' name, amen.

Amen.

What's that?

I'm supposed to be keeping

a journal for the program,

and I'm not good at writing.

So...

When did you start these?

When Winston came.

I know they're not very good,

but I started

and just kept going.

I don't know why.

Just now I-I realized

what I was really drawing.

It was me.

You say things happen for

a reason, that God brings things

into our lives to teach

us, to get through to us.

I always thought I

was alone, but-

but God brought me

you and Winston.

Ash, it's time to go.

Is this okay?

You look great.

Hope is alive in you.

Love is strong and true.

Our faith is growing deeper.

All because of you.

Hope is alive in you.

Mercy real and new.

And faith is moving mountains.

All because of you.

Hope is alive.

Love has come to us in Jesus.

Hope is burning bright.

It freed us from

the grip of darkness.

To your glorious light.

Fall unto our knees and cry

you have won the fight.

Hope is alive in you.

Love is strong and true.

Faith is growing deeper.

All because of you.

Hope is alive in you.

Mercy real and new.

Faith is moving mountains.

All because of you.

Hope is alive.

You'll do fine.

Hi.

You look great, honey.

Thanks.

You really do, Ash.

Well, a lot's changed.

So Ashley, is there anything

you want to tell your parents?

When I first left this

place, I was drug free.

This program helped me with

that, but once I was gone

I finally saw myself,

my weaknesses, insecurities,
