E: years ago I had downloaded upward, but later decided I needed to focus on my relationship with Jesus before I could focus on having a relationship with anyone else. I was comfortable just loving Jesus but something was missing, I was praying and then one day I had a feeling to reinstall the app. I was confused because I forgot about it but it's been the best decision! when the time was right God put in both of our hearts to find each other! A: A couple of years ago a friend from church recommended a dating app called Upward for young Christians. I didn't have any luck there so I stopped using it. Something told me one day to get back on and I matched with Estrella almost right away and it's been history.

A: I was blown away from the get go. The thing that hit me was how kind hearted she was despite everything. E: I thought he was really nice, he was really funny and was a gentleman. we got lost in conversation the first time meeting, our date lasted for hours!

E: we met at the Starbucks in Barnes and Noble, he got a black coffee and I had a matcha frappe, we sat at a table and talked for hours! I felt so comfortable with him right away! after the date he walked me to my car where he stayed and talked to me for a little bit before leaving. I'm pretty sure it was in the negative teens with the wind chill that day! A: We met for coffee at a Barnes and Noble and talked for hours that passed by in a blink.

A: Just how kind hearted she is and how she can make me smile despite the day I'm having. E: my favorite thing about him, he is so supportive of me, he gets excited with me and is always being so encouraging!

E:our personalities are so similar, we both love being really goofy! we both have the same values and morals. and when it comes to entertainment, I love how I can nerd out over a show or movie and he is right there with me. we love making each other laugh! A: We both have a strong faith in God, and we are both nerds.

A: There's so much that I can put here but she has such a big loving heart. The way her eyes sparkle when the light catches them just right. Just so much that I love. E: I love how gentle he is, I love how he can always make me laugh, he is so helpful and understanding. he is so kind and loving, he is accepting and I love the way he loves me! the thing I love most about him, is the fact that when I look into his eyes I see me, he makes me feel safe and comfortable, when I see him I see forever!

E: we are planning a trip to Put-In-Bay. we are going to tour historical sites and enjoy the Island. A: We are planning on going to Put-In-Bay
