From Stephanie (Summers) Huebner, a former student of mine:
All donations for the walk-a-thon will go through an organization called Helping Hands in Motion (HHIM), who will then drill the water well. Let me tell you about HHIM. A family friend of mine, Richard Fields, is the founder of HHIM. HHIM has been involved with supporting numerous pastors and churches in India, as well as the House of Blessings Orphanage (HOB) in Haiti for almost 16 years! The HOB is a Christian orphanage that holds around 17 kids. Voodoo is prominent in Haiti, so the fact that the orphanage is Christian is awesome!
Ever since I was introduced to the children living at the HOB back in October 2011, I have desired to financially help them. What better way than a walkathon? After contacting Richard, we decided water was the orphanage’s biggest need. The HOB is located on top of a mountain in a town called Callebasse is right outside of Port-Au-Prince. Their main source of water is from a cistern on their property. Due to drought, their cistern is running dry. Because the trips in to town to get jugs of water for the HOB are costing $200 per trip, they have also been sending the kids down the mountain to the streams with buckets to get water. I have been down these mountains—they are NOT safe (especially in the worn out crocs the kids wear!).
Drilling a water well would eliminate these costs, keep the kids safe, and give the HOB and mission teams an unlimited supply of water.

Welcome to Michele Huey's God, Me & a Cup of Tea
“What do you want to be remembered for?”
This was the final question on a Q&A interview form I completed recently.
“Encouraging others,” I wrote. “Bringing a smile to someone’s face. Lightening the burden they carry. Helping them believe in God’s love and unique purpose for them.”
Encouraging others has been a lifelong desire. I can remember dressing up and performing, usually comedy acts, for family members when I was a preschooler. Bringing a smile to someone’s face has always been a driving force in my life. So has helping others. I can remember lying awake at night, dreaming of someday going to Third World countries and helping the people there.
My life, however, took a different track, but I still have the desire to encourage, inspire, and to pass along the message of God’s love.
May you find in these Web pages a cup of inspiration, a spoonful of encouragement and a generous outpouring of the milk of God’s love.
Welcome to God, Me & a Cup of Tea!

Michele's musings (a collection of inspirational quotations):
- I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. ~ Abraham Lincoln
- Don't worry that children never listen to you; worry that they are always watching you. ~ Robert Fulghum
- Bloom where you’re planted.
- Faith isn't the ability to believe long and far into the misty future. It's simply taking God at His word and taking the next step. ~ Joni Eareckson Tada
- Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow; it empties today of its strength. ~ Corrie Ten Boom
- If all you ever attempt is that which you know you can do or have the resources for, how will you ever discover what He can do? ~ Anne Graham Lotz, My Jesus Is . . . Everything
- The solutions to all our problems are more of the heart than of the law.
- Our intellect and other gifts have been given to be used for God's greater glory, but sometimes they become the very god for us . . . We are losing our balance when this happens. We must free ourselves to be filled by God. Even God cannot fill what is full. ~ Mother Teresa
