It's of God.It's what's in the heart that matters.
The doing or acting on what's in your heart is important.
You could have said.. I have this money, I could get myself some new clothes, take a vacation, buy a new car.
But you didn't think about how you would spend it on you first.
And that's a good thing..

Proverbs 16:9 Amplified
A man’s mind plans his way [as he journeys through life], But the Lord directs his steps and establishes them.
This is what Christ taught on making vows.
“Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.”
Do with it what you will.

Here are some scriptures you need to understand and why.
But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but
let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.
But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. For that ye ought to say,
If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.

Remember Herod and his vow to his step daughter who danced in front of him and his congregates ? He promised her up to half his kingdom and whatever she desired, she went asking her mother who desired the head of John the Baptist. Oh what great sorrow was had by the Kings great oath. I’ve experienced that first hand surely many have by saying an oath then it backfiring later, oh what misery.
