They met through an amazing friend (Shawn Winters). Christi had gone to a Christmas Party where Shawn was.. They were able to catch up with each other and talked about their lives. Which Christi had shared her desired to still find someone to spend her life with. They prayed over the food and went on their way. A couple days later, Shawn and Paul were talking about the party and how it went. Shawn told Paul maybe the two of them should meet. Shawn texted Christi and asked if it would be ok for Paul to get in touch with her. Christi agreed.. and Paul texted the next morning. They texted all day long, and spoke over the phone the next few days, it felt like they had known each other forever. Paul asked Christi on a date for that Saturday. Paul picked her up promptly at 6 (knowing being late is Christi’s pet peeve).. Christi answered the door and what she would describe as fireworks when she saw him. They went out for Italian and Paul took her to River Oaks to look at Christmas lights… It was an amazing night! Over the next few months they continued to get to know each other.. which they still felt like they had known each other forever. They have seen each other every day since their first date… They are meant to be. God made Paul for Christi, and Christi for Paul. God had a plan.. yes it took a bit longer for these two… but patience is key.
