And more letters from friends:
"Dear Victor,
Our family is so thankful that God chose our
community to love and support you and your family. You have been a blessing to
us for more than a year. Before we knew that the child we were praying for was
you, our whole community prayed with your family that God would place His
perfect choice into the King home. We prayed through long periods of waiting
for news, and the joys and sorrows of God's perfect match and perfect timing.
When we heard about you we all knew that God had moved and that you would be a
part of our community for life. You have a large family in your home and a
large community of people who love you and have been praying for you since
before you were born."
"Victor,
God spoke at just the right time and put things into motion for you
to be connected to your forever family. The King family was given to you
as a safe haven and loving home to grow up in. You were also given to
them as a beautiful gift. The surprise is in how much your life has been
a gift to so, so many others! As we saw you grow from smaller then a
dollar bill size to a full-grown baby, we were all amazed and gave thanks and
praise to the God of the universe who knows and loves and sees and moves
mountains. He used His power to bring healing and strength to your little
body. You amazed us all as you grew and overcame many obstacles.
Our belief in the God who can do miracles was strengthened as we saw Him work
miracles in your life. We gave of ourselves by praying for you, but
we were the ones who received as we sat in awe of the One who answered those
prayers in ways that were beyond what we had asked for, or expected. Your
life has begun as a testimony to all that God can do. Be blessed as God
continues to use you mightily. We see God’s hand in your life and trust
that there is so much more to come as you grow. You are a victor in
Christ."
*Sweet Victor,
We were told your
name was Noah. A biblical name so that fit the King family. Noah was an
overcomer and a great believer in God.
He listened. He prayed. He
waited… a long time. He
persevered. He acted. He saved his
family. He sacrificed. Story sound
familiar? This is you, Victor Noah
King, and your family. Your family
prayed for you before they knew you.
A family that listened, that waited, that persevered, that acted. A family that sacrificed time (mom away
from the home nest) and money. And
you, a child who rose Victor(ious), overcame being the size of a dollar bill.
We have prayed for
your family, we have prayed for you, we have cried and we have shouted for
joy. What a family you have to
call your own. They are an amazing
example of God’s love; Jesus with skin on. A real life illustration of listening and acting, no matter
how it looks to others, and how unrealistic it may seem. We have been honored to be included in
their journey that is you. What a
joy and answer to prayer your life is.
You are God’s plan - yesterday, today, tomorrow, and for many more
years. We are so looking forward
to those many more years to see what God has in store for you and how He will
continue working through your life to be glorified.
You
are special and God loves you very much."
