Word Love {Guest Post by Natalie}

I've always loved books. Ever since I can remember, a trip to the library was my favourite excursion--even now, I still get giddy when we get to go to the library. The smell of books, the quiet whispers around the bookshelves, and the feel of the worn pages between my fingers is among the best simple pleasures in life.

The excitement I feel when I get a new book with a good reputation is one of the best feelings in the world.

"From your parents you learn love and laughter and how to put one foot in front of the other. But when books are opened, you discover you have wings." ~ Helen Hayes

I learned to read at a unusually young age--and ever since, I haven't put books down. My father read one of my favourite books (Tell Me a Secret--Max Lucado & Ron Dicianni) every night before bed. I remember snuggling up next to him, my hand through his arm, reading over his shoulder and wondering what would happen.

Books allow you to experience many lifetimes, learn invaluable lessons, meet the friendliest of people, and travel the most breathtaking places--it is a simple privilege of a pleasure.

An addiction of books never goes away, and reading more books only makes it a more serious condition, but it's a condition I'm willing to live with. :)

I have a wonderful family: Amazing parents, a wonderful big brother and two lovely sisters. 

I love...the piano, art, writing, studying, photography, anything vintage, rotary telephones, red shoes, shopping, Starbucks, Paris, tea, travel, sunsets, and last but certainly not least, my beautiful savior Jesus Christ and this life He blessed me with. 

My Blog, I dream in French,  ranges from topics of Scripture and Jesus Christ's mercy to books and movies to fashion and random experiences I encounter in life. why don't you stop by and leave a comment?
