She was one of many victims in a high school shooting in Littleton, Colorado. But I feel Cassie's story is a bit different. Cassie can be considered a modern day martyr. Many witnesses testify that the murderer asked her just moments before she died, if she believed in God. Witnesses state she hesitated and replied, "Yes, I believe in God, and you need to follow His path." The gunman shot her immediately in a way that put her instantly with God. This young girl's faith in God cost her the earthly life she had lived for 17 years. However, it gave her the reward of eternal life!
Cassie's father related to People magazine, "There was a reason Cassie died, and that was because she loved the Lord. This is what Cassie was being prepared for. This was her mission."
On the night of her death, Cassie's brother Chris found a poem she had written two days before the massacre. It read:
I have found it to be the only way
To really know Christ and to experience
The mighty power that brought
Him back to life again, and to find
Out what it means to suffer and to
Die with him. So, whatever it takes
I will be one who lives in the fresh
Newness of life of those who are
Alive from the dead.
My prayers go out to all the victims' family and friends.
God Bless You and Keep You Safe!!!
