tim & lisa cocking

Yesterday was my last time to play with the band at Oak Pointe . I was prepared to feel a bit emotional playing for the last time with all my friends. So how was it? Here’s an email conversation I had with my friend Lindsey about just that…

L: Were there any neat moments for you?

Me: Yeah, like maybe bawling my head off like a little girl halfway through the set during second service. That’s when it’s good not to be singing or playing a wind instrument. I did learn something new; you can still keep a groove if you’re crying and playing bass! Thank God I had the songs memorized

L:What a bittersweet morning for you, huh? ( I would’ve been bawling my head off, too. And kudos to you for crying “like a little girl” in front of 700 people and holding your head high.

Me: Well I mostly looked down at the kick drum to keep me locked in!

We’re really going to miss every one at OPC.
11 more days until we load the truck!

We finally got a closing date yesterday, so we know when we’re making the big move! Our close is on July 14–a nice birthday present for me, I have to say! We’ll be moving out of our apartment on Saturday, July 8, and anyone who wants to help is welcome. Tim will start the drive down on Monday the 10th, then the girls and I will fly down to meet him on Thursday the 13th. We’ll be staying with my parents for the time between move-out and fly-down. We get the keys at closing, and the place is ours!

There’s so much to do between now and then, not least of which is finishing up raising support. We’re close, but not quite there yet. Your prayers for all this are appreciated!
