- Everybody was lookingforward to Woodstock.

It was the biggest thing coming.

- [Andrew] 1969.

The hippie movement in full swing.

500,000 people descend onthe Woodstock Music Festival,

many searching forpeace, love, and freedom

through sex, drugs, and rock and roll.

15 year old KimberlyNyborg was one of them.

- I was excited.

I was gonna see these bands

that I used to listen to toall the time and get high.

It was wild and crazy and drugs

and all kinds of it.

I was in my glory.

- [Andrew] Kimberly's fatherleft when she was a baby.

She was brought up by her strictand often demanding mother.

By age 13, Kimberly rebelled,having sex and using drugs

as she embraced the hippie culture

along with its promises oflove, peace, and no rules.

She also grew her hairlong, not only in rebellion,

but to get the attention of boys.

- I liked the way I felt.

I liked what I was gettingfrom it, and I wanted more.

I wanted more of that freedom.

- [Andrew] At home, she and hermom were constantly at odds.

One night after Kimberlycame home late again,

her mom decided to punishher by cutting her hair.

- I had long, reallylong, pretty hippie hair.

I felt devastated that losing my hair

means I lost any attraction.

- [Andrew] Later that night,

Kimberly swallowed a bottleof her mother's Valium,

landing her in the hospital.

As soon as she recovered,she ran away with a friend,

but that freedom came at a price.

- A lot of really uglythings happened to me.

We ran down to Greenwich Village,

ended up staying withsomebody and they had heroin

and I ended up on a heroin overdose.

- [Andrew] After beingdropped off at a clinic,

Kimberly survived.

Then a girlfriend convinced15-year-old Kimberly

to help at Woodstock.

But after the festival ended,Kimberly decided again to run,

this time to a commune in New Mexico.

There, she thought she found love,

but when she got pregnant,

her boyfriend dumped her immediately.

- He wasn't having anything to do with it,

so I was devastated.

- [Andrew] Rejected again,

Kimberly drifted to anothercommune in Minnesota

where, at 17, she gave birth to her son.

She got clean and patchedthings up with her mom,

but for the next 13 years,

Kimberly bounced from onerelationship to another.

By age 30, she had three children,

had been married and divorcedto an emotionally abusive man,

and was feeling the weightof her many mistakes,

one of them being an abortion at age 19.

- I felt despicable,

never happy with anybody I was with,

doing things like, youknow, having an abortion,

ended up having an affair

when I was married to my first husband.

The hopelessness reallygot heavy and hard for me

and I started re-thinking about suicide.

- [Andrew] Around that time,Kimberly met some new friends

who turned out to the Christians.

- They shared their struggles with me,

yet they had the hope thatJesus was the only way

to get through their struggles.

- [Andrew] Then, in February of 1984,

they introduced her to ashow called "The 700 Club."

- I was fascinated by the testimonies

that I saw on "The 700 Club."

I could really identify with them

and the way they lived their life.

My heart went, "Well, ifGod, if you're really real

and you can help thosepeople, can you help me?"

And that's when Pat Robertson said,

"You know, if youidentified with that story

and you would like to askJesus into your life,"

he goes, "I want you to pray with me."

- Let's pray right now, wherever you are.

Father-- And so I did,

and I received Christ that day.

When I found my Father, Ifound my perfect Father.

I found someone to dance for,

silly as that sounds,

and that was healing for me.

- [Andrew] The following year,

Kimberly married herboyfriend of 3 1/2 years.

She says, as she askedforgiveness for the abortion

and many other things, God set her free.

A big part of that wasforgiving her father.

- I forgave him for abandonment.

It was huge.

It was a weight that waslifted off of my shoulders.

- [Andrew] Kimberly hasworked in Christian radio

for the past 30 years andcurrently hosts a morning show.

These days, Kimberly's focus

is on her relationship with Jesus,

who loves and accepts her unconditionally.

- Well He responds. He listens.

He pulled me out ofthe miry clay I was in.

I know that Jesus is always with me.

I've given Him permission toshepherd me and to lead me.

It's just allowing Him towrap His arms around me

and be loved, which wasall I ever really wanted.
