Pretty Thrifty: Love and Cowboy Boots

I'm sorry my pictures are so blurry!
Our computer hasn't been working right, so I'm just piecing my posts together. Actually this is an outfit from last spring, before I even had thought of doing Pretty Thrifty. I think I only have about half of this outfit left.

 Jacket (?)
Tank top: $4
Skirt (made by me)
Boots (garage sale):$1
Total: $5

Random fact about me:


When I go to church, I write in a journal.
I write down thoughts that occur to me, things that stand out, verse references, etc.
This last Saturday I participated in intercessory worship at our church. 
One of the songs we played was called Song of Love.
As I have mentioned before, God is dealing with me about love right now. Honestly I didn't realize I had such a problem with love until He started bringing up the subject.
Isn't that how it always is?
Anyway, as we were singing the lyrics to this song, I got into a strong vein of worship.
The lyrics started to have a lot more meaning. I just proclaimed them over myself.

Holy one you have won my heart.
I give you my affection,
I give you my devotion;
It all belongs to you!
Jesus, you are fairer than the sons of men!
Have you ever seen another more beautiful?
Have you ever seen another more lovely?
Have you ever seen another more righteous?
Have you ever seen another more holy?
Girls have always longed to be loved and admired. To fit in. I've been dealing with all of that for quite a while. In steps my hero. God has been working on my heart. It has been a long process, and I don't see a whole lot of improvement, but God is faithful. And He will finish this work He has started in me.
 God has been working on my faithfulness to Him;
Holy one you have won my heart.
I give you my affection,
I give you my devotion;
It all belongs to you!

God had been working on me being content in His love and not others';
Jesus, you are fairer than the sons of men!
Falling in love with Jesus before any guy is another thing;
Have you ever seen another more beautiful?
Have you ever seen another more lovely?
Have you ever seen another more righteous?
Have you ever seen another more holy?

God is the one being that should always hold my heart. And the great thing about that is, He will never break it.
He's just that kind of God.
Awesome!
Emily
