¡®God Told Me To Do It¡¯: 24-year-Old Teacher Uses All Her Money To Adopt Student And Brother
A young teacher gave her student and his brother the gift of a forever home and says that it was God who told her to do it.
 24 year old, Chelsea Haley, was a new teacher when she decided to adopt her student and his brother.
It¡¯s completely unheard of and it cost her entire life¡¯s savings, but that didn¡¯t stop Chelsea from fulfilling God¡¯s calling in her life.
Now Chelsea Haley and her beautiful family are back with an update about what God has been doing in their life.
How it began
Chelsea Haley decided to become a teacher and joined Teach For America after she felt the calling of God for her to make a difference in low-income schools. And that¡¯s where she met Jerome Robinson.
Jerome was a ¡°problem child¡± in the class, he was so rowdy in her fourth-grade classroom, that Chelsea almost left the teaching profession altogether.
She stayed on and began working on Jerome, and then realized that the reason he was behaving in that way was because of a bad situation at home.
 The adoption
Home problems were bad for Jerome, and his baby brother, Jace, as well. Chelsea felt drawn towards helping her ¡°problem student,¡± and says that God came in her dreams and told her to adopt them.
Chelsea Haley immediately followed God¡¯s leading and used up all her savings and her 401k and brought both Jerome and his brother Jace into her home. ¡°I never thought I¡¯d be a single mom at age 24,¡± Chelsea said. ¡°Especially of two boys, one of which was my 12-year-old student. And the other one who was only a year-and-a-half.¡±
It seemed a crazy decision for a 24-year-old girl to give up her life and earnings for strangers but it was God who had led her every step of the way. Chelsea was obedient to God and stepped out in faith even though she had to give up everything for it.
¡°My faith played a huge role in this whole situation, and I really felt God calling me into motherhood,¡± she says.
God rewards her
It¡¯s not always easy to let God do what He wants in our lives, but when we do so, He rewards us richly.
Chelsea Haley had to pay the attorney¡¯s fees to adopt her student and his baby brother which finished her entire life¡¯s savings. She then depended on credit cards to raise them and deferred her student loans which pushed her into debt.
But Chelsea says it is all worth it, ¡°Being their mom is the greatest blessing of my life,¡± Chelsea?. ¡°I get to wake up in the morning and love two little guys.¡±
She worked hard and made sacrifices and took on extra jobs tutoring and delivering groceries to earn extra cash and they all moved in with her parents.
Her hard work paid off, and now along with having a loving home for Jerome (17) and Jace (6), she¡¯s also paid off the $48,683.41 debt in credit cards and student loans.
¡°It doesn¡¯t feel real yet,¡± Chelsea said. ¡°It¡¯s so amazing. I even logged into my student loans and it said, ¡®Cleared. Zero balance.¡¯¡±
Now the only thing she has in mind is buying a home and putting Jerome and Jace through college. ¡°It allows me to focus on the boys¡¯ future,¡± she said. ¡°Saving money for them, and not spending it on my past.¡±
Chelsea Haley has impacted these two boys lives with unconditional love and support and is raising them to be responsible citizens with the help of God.

A squad car driver was covering a quiet beat out in the sticks when he was amazed to find a former lieutenant on the police force covering the beat. He stopped the car and said, "Why Mike, this wouldn't be your new beat out here in the sticks, would it?"
"That is it," Mike replied grimly, "ever since I arrested the judge on his way to the masquerade ball."
"You mean you pinched his honor?" asked Pat.
"How was I to know that his convict suit was only a costume!" demanded Mike.
"Well," mused Pat, "'tis life and there's a lesson in this somewhere."
"That there is," replied Mike. "'Tis wise never to book a judge by his cover."

Suffering from a Condition
A young woman, extraordinarily attractive in personality, character and presentation, was suffering from a condition that made her lips crack and become sore. The slightest movement of her mouth caused much pain and embarrassment.
Her condition, though not cured, was somewhat relieved by the application of a medication prescribed by her physician. The instructions on the prescription were to apply the medication once a day, but the young woman found that more frequent applications were palatable and effective.
After exhausting her supply, she returned to the doctor's office for another one.
The receptionist announced the arrival of the returning patient to the doctor: "It's the super gal with fragile lips expecting extra doses."

New Species of Weevil
Scientists at MIT have reportedly announced that they have discovered a new species of weevil that feeds solely on the cotton fibers in men's shorts.
The researchers have no idea where the species originated, and are appealing to the general public, as well as the rest of the scientific community for any information that would help identify the insect.
They are anxious to identify what weevil lurks in the shorts of men.

During Prohibition
Sometime back during prohibition Bing and Bob developed a powerful thirst for some moonshine.
Bing said, "I have a brother who lives up in the Carolina hills who has just finished setting up a little operation. Perhaps he'd let us try out some of his first batch of hooch."
The two buddies hit the road to Carolina and tracked down Bing's brother just as he was drawing off the first bottle of whiskey.
"Here, try this and tell me if you think it's aged enough," said the novice moonshiner.
Bob, took a swig, made a sour face, and quickly pronounced, "Crosbie's still's mash is young."
**
Mace, The Dog
A mechanic who worked out of his home had a dog named Mace. Mace had a bad habit of eating all the grass on the mechanic's lawn, so the mechanic had to keep Mace inside.
The grass eventually became overgrown. One day the mechanic was working on a car in the backyard and dropped his wrench, losing it in the tall grass. He couldn't find it for the life of him, so he decided to call it a day.
That night, Mace escaped from the house and ate all the grass in the backyard.
The next morning the mechanic went outside and saw his wrench glinting in the sunlight.
Realizing what had happened he looked toward the heavens and proclaimed, "A grazing Mace, how sweet the hound, that saved a wrench for me!"
