Walker & Sierra: A God Written Love Story

Walker and Sierra have known each other since freshman year of High school. Who would have thought the "spark" would have started in 1st period biology.

Well, it really started sophomore year in August of 2021 in 6th period weightlifting class.

Walker was head over heels for Sierra from the first day of school. Sierra on the other hand, not so much. She was in another relationship at the time. She only thought of Walker as a friend and nothing more.

Walker's mom would pick him up from school and ask about his day. "He always mentioned this girl named "Sierra", Kelli said, "and I knew she was more than just a friend to Walker; she was the one."

Sophomore year to senior year of High school was a time God really started working on Walker and Sierra and their individual walks with Christ. Walker went back to being homeschooled and Sierra stayed busy volunteering at the church and different school activities.

And then October of Senior year hit. Walker returns to high school and Sierra started to think that maybe Walker was a little cuter than she originally thought.

So like any logical person, Sierra messaged Walkers best friend to fill in for "wing man." "I wanna invite Walker to church, but he won't go unless you go with him," Sierra messaged to Carl. Carl said, "alright I'll get him to go."

Wednesday November 16, 2022 Walker and Carl attended Encntr's Friendsgiving. Your probably thinking, "oh this is FOR SURE when the magic happens right?" Wrong.

Walker ended up getting into a relationship with someone else and Sierra was not happy about it.

So once again, we're back to square one. "It felt like a repeat of sophomore year, only this time, I'm the one that's single," Sierra said. So how was God going to get these crazy kids together?

January of 2023, Walker is single and starts coming to church more and more often. Sierra and Walker individually started praying, "God if this is from you, if this is in your will for our lives, this is going to work out." And sure enough on January 31st Walker asked for Sierra's number.

They didn't text a lot...at first. They went from not texting at all to texting everyday, calling everyday and hanging out at VIVE, random Kids ministry events and set ups, and for Walkers track meets. This went on for about a month. Everyone knew they were basically together, just without the label. Then Walker popped the question on March 4th in the Publix parking lot. They have been inseparable since.

They did ALL the events together; from prom on April 22nd, to spirit week dress up days, to track meets and senior sunrises, to Bush Gardens, to graduating High School on May 19, 2023.

After graduating High School, Walker and Sierra started working and really growing their relationship. "We had some rocky times but nothing God couldn't get us out of."

And then April 11, 2024 Walker popped the BIG QUESTION. On the same beach his parents met and got married on, Sierra said "UHM YES!!!" Actually at first she said, "Are you sure? Is this really happening? Oh my gosh it's happening right now. RIGHT NOW?! Do you want me to say "no" cause I can say "no" if you really want me to." And then eventually she said, "yes."

This is just the start to their love story. To a lifetime of laughter, blessings, and adventure.
