“So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law.
For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love. For the whole law can be summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.””
Galatians 5:1, 13-14

>>Checking in<<⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's so important to be checking in on our kids during these trying times. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Check in on their...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sleep: Are they getting enough, or lacking? It’s easy to fall out of routines in the summer.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Food: Is it nourishing, or inhibiting? A healthy diet can help counter the impact of stress by boosting the immune system and lowering blood pressure. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Stress levels: How are they coping? How are ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
you helping? Be mindful and intentional in how you handle your own stress because it can indirectly affect your family.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Exercise: Are they getting those wiggles out? Physical activity releases chemicals in the brain that naturally release stress and help children manage their behaviors. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

A word of encouragement from a foster Dad: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Foster care is emotionally tough, hard work, but filled with rewards (both now and eternally) that far outweigh the cost. God loves orphans and calls himself "Father to the fatherless." Jesus loves children and said "let the little children come to me." We should share that heart, and foster care is an opportunity to live out God's heart for orphans and Jesus' passion for loving children. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I was very reluctant and had no desire to upset my "perfect" life. But foster parents are needed. There are way too many kids in foster care that aren't receiving love and attention. These kids need love, care, protection, and the gospel of Jesus Christ.
ICA will be hosting a zoom info meeting tonight at 6pm.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
John 8:12 NLT
Whether you're a brand new mother who is just learning the ropes, a seasoned mother who has changed more diapers than there are stars...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whether your child was in your tummy or in another mummy's tummy... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whether you've counted down the days to finalize an adoption, you're counting down the days for a placement, or you're savoring each day until reunification... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
YOU have made an immense impact on someone else's life and you deserve to be honored for the hard work, the heart ache, and hundreds of ways you sacrifice daily. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Happy Mother's day from all of us at ICA.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
