Rozie...

Rozie's grounded. She cut herself again. It's so hard for me to see her do this. And I get so confused, and I love her so much, and she loves God, but something is binding her. Last night I was praying for her and I kept thinking of the song "Freedom." The words are:
We cry "freedom from the chains that bind our children,
Freedom from the chains that bind our praise to You
Freedom from the lies of the enemy
Freedom," we cry
"Freedom!
Freedom!"
We cry "Freedom!
Freedom
Freedom" we cry
There's a stronghold in her life. And I've been praying for her. I need to get together with her and just pray over her. Todd and Micki emailed their newsletter to us, and they said that this year is going to be a year of breakthrough. I went to church that same week and Pastor Steve said the same thing. It's awesome to know that in Japan as well as America, God's teaching His people the same thing. This year is going to be a year of breakthrough for Rozie. I know that she loves the Lord, but she has such a hard time letting go. With the David thing, she kept going back and back and back...she couldn't let go, and with the cutting, she's going back.
I need to talk to her, because this isn't the way it's supposed to be. Cor 3:17 says "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom." Romans 6:18
"You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness." I'm going to write her a letter, I think, because she's banned from the internet. Man, I love that girl so much, but it's so hard for me to watch her do this! Pray for her!
