Had this dream last night... Kinda strange but it made me realise how important the covenant is to me...

The Dream

There's me, some friends and this cute girl... And we were all hanging out at this, warehouse / bar thingy... slacking around, listening to music and chatting away... Then this girl comes up to me and introduces herself. i don't rememeber her name now... But I do remember she was cute and friendly... We started chatting and we hit it off quite well... In the dream, time seemed to speed up and I think she asked if we could get together... I found it amazing how crazy she was about me. And I grew to like her a lot too... I seemed to push the covenant out of my mind... After all, she was perfect!!! All my requirements met, so to speak...

The only problem was, the year wasn't up yet... So anyhow... Now I'm in this building... Then I entered this room where I could see the evening sky... It was beautiful. Then suddenly dark storm clouds rolled into view... It was like someone speeding up a video recording of the sky before a thunderstorm... Then there was this deep voice that said a single word, 'PROMISE!!!' At first I was afraid... But I told those clouds to leave and they slowly rolled away... But just as the last cloud disappeared from the sky, the clouds came back faster then before and the voice said, 'Are you sure, Daryl? Do you want to walk out from under my hand?'

In the next part of the dream, I was searching for that girl... Took quite awhile to find her. When I looked her in the eye and said, 'we need to talk...', tears started rolling down from her eyes... So I brought her into a room... Something like a closet... where I told her about my covenant. She started sobbing very badly so I brought her into my arms... If I remember correctly, the top of her head came to my mouth, so I was kissing her head... Then she pulled back from me and said, 'Don't do that... You lied!!!' I think I was trying to explain things to her when I woke up...

It was really weird... Spent a lot of time thinking. I've decided that I don't want to think about relationships already... Its really been tiring.
I'll be at my church camp from tomorrow till wednesday... We'll be staying at Le Meridian in Orchard Road. Expecting great things to happen... I want them to happen.
