My Way to the One God Had for Me: Christy & Kris’ Story

Waiting can be one of the hardest parts of the journey.

For Christy, the desire to find the man God had for her wasn’t something she took lightly. At 37, she had spent years hoping, praying, and trusting that the Lord was preparing the right person — even when it felt like the answer was taking a long time.

She went on many dates, searching for someone who truly aligned with her heart and faith… but nothing ever quite felt like the one.

Still, she didn’t give up.

Instead, Christy turned to prayer.

After thinking carefully about online dating, she decided to take a step of faith and give Upward a try.

And that decision would change everything.

Meeting Kris

Through Upward, Christy met Kris — and from the beginning, there was something different.

The connection was real. The relationship grew naturally. And what started as a simple match quickly became something far deeper.

They fell in love — the kind of love that comes from shared values, genuine connection, and God’s hand guiding every step.

A Prayer Answered

For Christy, Kris wasn’t just another date.

He was the answer to years of waiting.

The man God had been writing into her story all along.

Today, Christy and Kris are engaged and preparing to step into their next chapter together.

Their wedding date is set for May 16th, and their hearts are full of gratitude for the Lord’s perfect timing.

Encouragement for Anyone Still Waiting

Christy’s story is proof that God never forgets the prayers we whisper in seasons of waiting.

If you’ve been searching… if you’ve been hoping… if you’ve wondered when the right person will come…

Take heart.

God’s plan is worth the wait.

💛 Congratulations, Christy & Kris! Thank you for letting Upward be part of your journey to the one God had for you.
