I can't believe I haven't posted about my little nephew yet! My sister and her husband recently gave birth to Myles, their precious precious baby boy. Not only has he become the light of their lives, he is quickly taking over my parents hearts and everyone else that comes into any sort of contact with him. My schedule with the Army hasn't yet permitted me to sneak away and visit but I pray that day is coming soon! Daily I look at their blog for updates and pictures. He is one amazing gift from God and we Thank You Lord for the opportunity to stir up in Myles heart the love of Christ. I'm sure he'll teach us far more about your love then we will ever teach him.
Speaking of his heart... Myles was born with Downs Syndrome to include a heart defect. Myles, bless him, is going to have open heart surgery this Tuesday to repair a narrowed Aorta, among other issues. This is very exciting news as it will help him grow big and strong - on the flip side it can be a whirlwind of emotions for his new parents, Jocelyn and Gilby. Pray for them. Pray into the surgery, that the Dr would embody perfection on that day. Pray that Myles is healed and that my sister and brother in-law would see a miracle from the Lord. Lastly pray for the peace of God, the only thing that can calm restless spirits in these situations.
You can see 100s of pictures of Myles on their blog gilbertsnuthouse. Chels is calling me to leave for church but here is one quick snap shot... nevermind it's taking me too long to try and steal it off their web page... take a look at their blog!

Hi Ben and Chelsa,
How nice of you to write a tribute to Myles. You left out a letter in their website address which might make it hard for people to find it :) It's gilbertsnuthouse.com. Also Myles heart surgery involves a bit more to correct than you indicated. But that shouldn't affect the prayer status! They don't call you Jocie's little brother for nothin'!
Love ya,
Mom
