A Change In The Wind

As she laid in the still of the night she could hear the wind move the curtain at her open window. In the distance, she could hear the loud revelling and although quite a few regulars called earlier she had no desire for them this eve. Some people get to choose the life they live while some just play the cards they are dealt. Being the talk of town lost it sting soon enough. You see she was a hard worker regardless of the type of job she had to do. With four children fathered by four different men there was no time for shame or laziness concerning the matter.

This restless spirit had been persistent for days now. But why was she feeling this way? Why was her soul so troubled? Why did she feel like there was more to life than she currently knew? This night however, seemed to be different from all the rest, on this night there was something different in the wind. The sound seemed to sing a song only the deep depths of the soul could hear. It brought with it a feeling that better days were ahead.

Better days? “Is there such a thing?” she questioned in her heart. In the days to come she would find that there was a lover who had desired her for as long as time itself and He was about to make His love known to her and the world.

On this night, she knew… she couldn’t explain it but she knew, her life would never be the same.
