Hi! I am Jamie Gault. Before I became a mother, I taught sixth grade in a small town. In my spare time, I take pleasure in reading and writing. I enjoy a bookshelf bursting with colorful picture books and children’s stories of all genres. Indulging in a read aloud with all of my children around me is one of my favorite moments of my days.
Five Facts About My Family in a Snail Shell:
My husband and I have been married for 15 years and have always desired a large family.
I have not always loved critters (and sometimes I still don’t!). My children and their slimy finds have encouraged a love of learning!
We love to explore the beaches and visit the ocean.
We love Korean and Thai dishes.
My daughter and I love to match dresses when we can!
As the Lord teaches me day by day, I see His unending grace and deep love towards me. Grasping His hand with child like faith, clothing myself with humility, and listening for His still small voice is the path I have found to those tiny treasures. Being washed and rooted in His Word renews my strength over and over. And being still before the Creator of the universe, gracefully opens my eyes to all the tiny moments He so beautifully gives.
The very core of Treasuring the Tiny Moments Homeschool stems from one of my favorite Bible verses found in the book of Psalms. It reads, “So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom,” Psalm 90:12. When the quiet whispers of this scripture resonate through the secret places of my heart, frailty of life permeates to the very core of my being. I am reminded to slow down. I am reminded to not allow the fleeting distractions of my day to pull me away from the important work. I am reminded to hold my family close. I am reminded to treasure the tiny moments God has so freely entrusted to me.
As I bonded with my children through literature and saw their interests unfold outdoors, I gained the inspiration to create. God, His grace, and the beauty of nature breathed life into our homeschooling. It is through my precious children and seeing the world through their eyes that we are in this place, Treasuring the Tiny Moments Homeschool.
In Christ,
Jamie
