Updates!!!

Sorry it has been so long since I have written. So much has transpired in the last few months. God has been moving in mighty ways and we are so excited and humbled how He continues to provide and draw people unto Him! Here a few updates.

Jim's
Ordination!!!!
We had a wonderful service of celebration for the official ordination of James Richard Huster! Jim's Dad, Richard Huster and his mother, Nancy Lees traveled across the country to make this time even more special. Nancy and I were busy with getting a reception ready and Greg, Courtney, and Richard all did their part to pitch in. Courtney's parents (Ned and Kathy) were here from Tuscon for the celebration and made a tremendous contribution to our family through all their help and loving on our kids! THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!!!! Matt D. helps operate a limo business and brought all of our homeless friends to the service in style...I LOVE OB!!!! The service was filled with tears, laughter, hoots, and cheers! It was truly a celebration of what the Lord has done and called our family to do.

The Soul Sisters of Alabama...
Last year around this time, some precious ladies came from Alabama and prayed for me and the Lord delivered me from sickness and oppression. Following such a great time we have also encountered some tough situations. We are so excited to say that the Lord continues to heal and deliver many areas of our lives. The ladies were here this week and many people from our church received healing and encouragement from them once again!

Katrina's Visit...

Our family was blessed two weeks ago to have my best friend come out and be with us. I have suffered for two months with strep throat and I had no idea how I could pull everything together for Jim's orordination. Nana to the rescue!!!! We didn't tell Isaac or Faith and Katrina woke them up for school, they were speechless!!!!!!! We went up to Julian which is about an hour away and enjoyed playing in about 2 feet of snow!!!!! It was freezing and we were glad for the fun but thankful that the beach was only a short distance away...we are so blessed to have the mountains and the sea!

Benjamin and Caroline...
We got a frantic call from Ben rushing to Caroline. She is OK but please pray for the healing of her mind and body. She collapsed and has been hospitalized for dehydration and anemia. This is all the news we have received so far. Sometimes no news is good news when it is coming from Africa.

My Dad (Allen Connor)
Finally!!! My dad now has a new pacemaker after many episodes of blacking out totally and feeling so poorly for many months. I am happy to report that he is doing great and "ticking" right along!


Busy Spring...
We are looking forward to a busy spring with lots of visitors and traveling for Jim. He is returning to SC March 20th for the Missions Conference at Covenant Presbyterian. My Aunt Barbara and Uncle Marlin will be visiting in April which we are so excited about! Benjamin will be coming from Rwanda to spend a week with us in May. Jim, Faith, and Isaac are going to be in a wedding of our babysitter, Desire Miksad. We are so thrilled to take part in this wonderful occasion.

Isaac, Faith, and Courtney...

Isaac received 4 stitches yesterday...this is his second time with a flesh wound to the head! He is doing great and back to his old self of climbing and having absolutely no fear! Faith and Isaac have started soccer with the YMCA and dad coaching and mom cheering them on! Courtney moved out a few weeks ago which was hard for all. She had been here almost a year. She is still very present in our lives and continues to be a huge help to me!

Harbor OB...

Harbor continues to grow and our small flock is growing more and more in the grace and love of Jesus Christ. We are truly a body that is bonding and sharing our brokenness and triumphs. It is such a special community that God is cultivating. Please keep us in your prayers for the Lord's protection, guidance, discernment and wisdom. We are at His mercy and feel so humbled to be in this place. Grace and peace to all of you our sweet family and friends. You are so incredibly loved by us!!!
