*sigh* This guy... I kind of want to start with how we met (I personally think it's crazy). We "technically" met one Saturday night shortly after I came home from fighting with an ex of mine.. I managed to somehow end up in between his parent's truck and his jeep. I had gone inside and changed into my pajamas (sweatpants and a T) and got on the phone with my best friend Bre. I was walking around on my sidewalk for like 15 minutes on the phone.. at the same time seeing this jeep drive passed my house like 10 times.. finally they pull up to apparently his house and I walk up.. "Uhmmm excuse me, but do you reallize how creepy you look driving around my neighborhood like this, this late?" "No, No, I promise we're not creepers! This is my house we were just waiting for my parents to go inside so we could switch jeeps... I have really strict parents" (I kinda chuckle then then look in at him confused) "Wait.. how old are you?" "I'm 23.. (said very embarrassed)" I busted out laughing and so did my friend on the phone... Well, I didnt talk to him since.. till I was on PoF.. and this guy named Joe messages me "Heyy you look familiar, have we met? I'm Joe btw. :) Hope to hear from you soon. :)" "Do you drive a white jeep?" "Are you Cassi that lives across the street from me?" ... Yeah Crazy huh?! Well needless to say, we did end up finally actually meeting.. that consted of meeting up in the street at like 1am and walking and talking till 3 or 4am... I had never connected so well with someone before...
Anyways yeah thats our background story... Joe is amazing! He's truly one of my best friends if not the best (besides Bre of course). He knows all about me, and still cares to be my friend. He's kept his word and never walked out.. dispite the many arguments and fights we've had. He's a real genuine.. somethin.. I guess it's easy to be close to someone when they're past is so similar to your own...
This guy has been through so much.. yet he still reaches for his dreams.. makes me so proud to call him my best friend.
By the way... he's an actor and singer... He's AMAZING at what he does! I've only been to 2 of his shows "Kilroy Was Here" and "Godspell". Watching him on stage doing his thing.. *sigh* you just have to see him! Oh and he sings too.. to me like an angel haha.. beautiful voice... he has a Youtube page too.. I believe it's joecollins22.. Please look him up and listen to him! He's great! Anyways.. yeah that's my Joe.. Haha He's such a goob...


This is Joe with his new puppy Maximus.. aka Max! Sooo cute!!!

 This is sir Joe.. in costume for Kilroy was here... "Don't say no to the.. USO..." Great.. songs stuck in my head again -_-

Zachary David aka My Favorite

Zachary David
Zach

So, I haven't really known him for very long. We've gotten rather close over the passed month or so. I'm not too sure how to say things without getting all "mushy and gushy" (as my little cousin would say it), but I'm going to try.
First off, this kid is like EPIC. He's so awesome I can't even think of how to really explain him. Most guys are airheads and well they're pretty much idiots, but not him he has a great head on his sholders and you can tell with barely knowing him, that he was raised right and knows how to act. He is the sweetest guy I know, in the short time that I've really gotten to know him, I have faced so much. He's been there the whole entire time with encouraging texts, phone calls, or talks walking around somewhere. I truly don't see how I could have managed to make it through everything if it weren't for him. I have been blessed intensely by just knowing him. I can't cound numerous times when I was really down.. like one night I sent him a text (before I had gotten my tests done) asking him to pray for me and basically telling him that I was really scared. His reply boggled my mind and left me litterally speechless.. or I guess it would be textless? "You know, I already do that every night, right? " I had sent the text around midnight, and he didn't respond tillI was on my way to church the next morning. When I read that text though, I was seriously mind blown, NO guy I ever liked or has liked me has EVER prayed for me, let alone send me bible verses! Now, every morning, he sends me verses in his "good morning" texts. Which leads me to tell you guys a secret.. So after a few days I've gone out and bought a little notebook, and have started writing down every verse he has sent me along with the date he sent it on.. I don't know why but I feel like that would be very special once the whole notebook is filled to, I don't know do something special with. Part of me thinks he deosn't realize the impact he's really having on my life, and part of me wants to wait and keep it that way. I mean, I know he's sending me bit of HIS devotions that he thinks would encourage me, and now.. I've gotten back into doing my devotions. Since he's come into my life the way he has, I can tell it was because God led him there. I've needed and prayed so long for a guy who was not just a "christian", but a real christian. A guy who loves God, and would be that spiritual leader that a man.. or young man is suppose to be.
Oh by the way, yes Zach and I are "talking" we deffinitely like eachother, a lot. He's become not only that guy I like and would love to date, but he's becoming that best guy friend I know is always there for me, which is the best combo any girl could ask for. :) I can't think of any time we've been together and not laughed or smiled or enjoy every minute of it. He makes me smile so much.. ridiculously so. Not to mention that his.... is extrememlt contangious! :)
Wow, I feel so petty, going on and on about a guy..  but I can't help it.. he's awesome!



So these two were taken at the Greensboro Grasshoppers game.. So much fun! I'm pretty sure it was the first time I had EVER hung out with his family too, I was so nervous! Oh and the dudes with the ladder were duck taping the window.. a ball hit it and legitly shattered it... scared us to death!

 The one pic I could get of him while at our lunch at Hams.. we went the day he left for school.. Surprisingly good day, I didn't cry! But I think he refused to let me.. and yes, I've learned atleast 85-90% of his pictures.. his tongue is NOT in his mouth... :d :p

 Hehe my sneeky skype pictures.. *sigh* the only way to see him till one of us get to go see the other.. and yes, plans are already in the making!

 Oh yes, the awesome text he sent me :D When I read it.. I felt there was a sense of.. duhh I aready do in it.. :)

Breanna Noel aka My Bestestest Friend

Breanna Noel
Bre
BeeBee

I have no idea where to start with her... I guess from the beginning?! Well, her and I met when I was in 8th grade and she was in 7th. From the very beginning her and I were best friends. We have soooo many memories if I even took a little bit of time to name some we'd be here forever! Sadly, there was maybe a year or 2..  maybe 3 where we didn't really talk. But thankfully her and I started talking again a little over a year ago and we've been almost inseperable ever since! She is for sure the bestest friend I have ever had! I have no idea what I would do or where I would be without her! She has been by my side through so much, and the same has been for her. I don't think I could ever not be her best friend!... She knows too much! hahahahaha


This first pic is a collage I did last spring.. its has a pic of us from middle school and then a pic of us "now" and then single pictures of us now.

 This picture was taken this June... one of the few of us NOT acting goofy!

 Like I said.. once you get us started we just can't stop!

 Yes... Our trips to walmart.. they are rather epic experiences!!

 And this just shows our differnces.. although we were BOTH cheerleaders.. she was the girly girly girl and I was the "tomboy"

 We have matching umbrellas... unknown till that moment!

 Yes... we're just this cool!!

 This is one of my personal faves..

 Another one of us smiling :)

 This one.. was actually taken today (August 23, 2012).. Me made tie dye best friends shirts... and may I just say.. we are the CUTEST!!! (the stickin out tongues is in honor of Zachary)

 Hehe.. although I HATE my glasses.. I must say I'm rather adorable!

 First time going to church together since high school.. yes it was picture worthy!

 The morning or the tie dye-ing... Yeah we look a lil ruff

 This one was taken especially for Zach :):)

 Our finished shirts....

 So yeah.. as you can see.. we seriously are.. BEST FRIENDS!! :D

My way of telling awesome news!

Here are the 2 pictures I promised...
1. The text I sent to him about the skype
2. The notecards I showed him while we were on skype!

Hoping to start again...

Hey all.
I guess I'm going to have to start off by telling you how my life is going now.
Well, I'm 21 years old now. I came home from college for a few years. At one point, I was living in Cleveland, Ohio.. however that's not a time we like to talk about. Since I last posted, I really only talked about my lyrics, which I hope you've enjoyed! I like writing, I haven't had a whole lot of time to write more, but hopefully soon I'll get back into the swing of things.
Since I've been home I've been through quite a bit of different things. My health once again is taking a turn down hill, but all my doctors have been great. We're getting closer to finding out what's wrong with me slowly but surely. I'm glad to say the biggest joy was getting my tests for Leukemia back, they were in fact negative. I'm pretty sure my heart stopped when they told me. However, the best part was getting to tell my 2 best friends Zach and Joe the good news (I'll give you an update on my friend here in a bit)! Joe was a little bit easier to tell, he's my next door neighbor, so basically I sent him a text telling him to come outside when him and his family were done eating. He texted me for like the next 20 minutes trying to figure out what it was all about... Anyways, I had to wait like an hour before he could come out... He ran over to the fence so I could let him in (we're not allowed inside while my parents are gone) and he sat on the tile and looked up at me... "Well...?? What do you have to tell me???" I looked down at him and began.. "Well, you know how they told me I have a swollen spleen and they said it could be any number of things ranging from bad to worse right?" "yeah?" "Well, they did the mono test and it came back negative..." (Joe's reply) "Really, well, that's good that you don't have mono... WAIT.. no.. its BAD.. that means it's worse like.. cancer.. or leaukemia!" (Me) "Yeah it could be worse... they did some blood work to see if I could have Leukemia though.." (Joe) "AND...?" (Me) "Well the results are back.. and.. well.. you see.. they're.. NEGATIVE!!" (Joe) "WHAT??!! OH MY GOSH THAT'S GREAT.........." I put a long "..." because the rest of what he said became a blur.. I think it's from him picking me up and hugging me and turning and talking 100 miles an hour! But anyways, that was one friend down.. Next was to tell my favorite, Zack :) This one was going to be a little tricky. He's the one who really knew how nervous I was about it and asked me almost every day if I'd got it done, so I wanted to tell him specially. Then again that in and of itself was going to be difficult since he had JUST left for school a week or so ago. I refused to tell him via text or phone... so I decided skype was the best option.. but seriouslly how do I do that? So, I sent him a text telling him "Oh I have something to tell you that's like oooooooooober importance!!! So a small (or not small) Skype session is a MUST" (Pics of the text will be added later when I figure out how... Anyways, that was at like 6 and I had to wait till like.. 10! Uhhg I hate waiting to see him. But yeah he called me on skype and I blocked out my face so he could only see notecard. Yes, I wrote it on a series of notecards! (Yes, pics will be added) The notecards said... "I HAVE...EPIC NEWS...MY TEST RESULTS...FOR LEUKEMIA..CAME BACK!...THE RESULTS ARE...NEGATIVE!!!!!" Yeah, he kinda guessed before I could finish, but I knew he was really happy.. mainly because he was really really smiley.! But yeah.. so for the most part health wise, I'm okay, just frustrated with not knowing whats wrong with me.

Soo yeah, what else has been going on in life... Oh yeah, well I've kind of had a rough time with keeping friends after coming home from my move. I use to hang out with like 20 different people. However, now I only really have like 6 friends, and 3 that I'm really close to. They're pretty awesome though. Breanna, Zachary, Joseph, Jonathan, Adam, and Joshua. To make telling you about them easier, I'm goning to make them all feel special and give them a special blog posting.

Okay, I'm going to go for now, I'll add the pictures and postings when I get  home!!

Tata for now TT for later!

When You Lifted Me

When You Lifted Me


But then you lifted me in your arms
Thats when I knew everything would be alright.
I wouldn't have to worry anymore.
You'd always be by my side.
Holding my hand helping me make it through.
Because when you lifted me in your arms...
You opened my eyes.

I'm Never Letting Go

I'm Never Letting Go

(verse)

I know it's only been a short time

But in this time together

I fell in love with you

And know that we have both made some mistakes

But I just want you to know

That I'm not letting go.

(Chorus)

I'll hold on

When things seem easy

I'll hold on

When the road looks rough ahead

No matter what we're going through

I'll never leave your side

I'll hold on

I'm never letting

Yeah I'll hold on

Cause I'm never letting go

This song is the only one of my songs that actually has a tune or melody to it. I wrote it for someone who I really love and now more than ever before it truly has a meaning to it. 

They're With Jesus Now

They’re With Jesus Now

By: Casandra Lambert

In Memory of Jacob Nance & Justin Simmons

(Verse 1)

I’m sitting here, looking around.

I see a casket where they’re body lays.

I see friends and family, and many tear filled eyes

But why can’t I find it in my heart to be sad?

I guess it’s because I know exactly where they’re at.

There’s no reason to be sad.

Yes we’re going to miss them,

But I know they’re Father must have missed them more.

For He called them home to be with Him,

In His arms, forevermore.

(Chorus)

They’re with Jesus now.

They’re with Jesus now.

They’re in His arms, Forevermore.

They’re with Jesus now.

They’re with Jesus now.

They’re happier than They’ve ever been.

For He took away all their pain,

They’re with Jesus now.

They’re with Jesus now.

And I know that we see them again,

For they are with Jesus now.

(Verse 2)

Now I can only imagine the smile on their face.

When they woke up by their Father’s side,

And I only imagine how amazing look

Dancing and praising Him now.

And I can see them now talking to Him

Asking Him to watch over us and keep us safe

Till we’re all together again.

(Chorus)

They’re with Jesus now.

They’re with Jesus now.

They’re in His arms, Forevermore.

They’re with Jesus now.

They’re with Jesus now.

They’re happier than They’ve ever been.

For He took away all their pain,

They’re with Jesus now.

They’re with Jesus now.

And I know we’ll all be together again.

For they’re with Jesus now.

(Tag)

And on that day, When He calls us all home,

They’ll be waiting there for us all.

And what a great joy there’ll be

When we see them again

This is also a revised song in memory of Jacob and Justin

She's with Jesus Now

She’s With Jesus Now

By: Casandra Lambert

(Verse 1)

I’m sitting here, looking around.

I see a casket where her body lays.

I see friends and family, and many tear filled eyes

But why can’t I find it in my heart to be sad?

I guess it’s because I know exactly where she’s at.

There’s no reason to be sad.

Yes I’m goin’ to miss her,

But I know her Father must have missed her more.

For He called her home to be with Him,

In His arms, forevermore.

(Chorus)

She’s with Jesus now.

She’s with Jesus now.

She’s in His arms, Forevermore.

She’s with Jesus now.

She’s with Jesus now.

She’s happier than she’s ever been.

For He took away all her pain,

She’s with Jesus now.

She’s with Jesus now.

And I know that I’ll see her again,

For she’s with Jesus now.

(Verse 2)

Now I can only imagine the smile on her face.

When she woke up by her Father’s side,

And I only imagine how beautiful she looks

Dancing and praising Him now.

And I can see her now talking to Him

Asking Him to watch over us and keep us safe

Till we’re all together again.

(Chorus)

She’s with Jesus now.

She’s with Jesus now.

She’s in His arms, Forevermore.

She’s with Jesus now.

She’s with Jesus now.

She’s happier than she’s ever been.

For He took away all her pain,

She’s with Jesus now.

She’s with Jesus now.

And I know we’ll be together again.

For she’s with Jesus now.

(Tag)

And on that day, When He calls us all home,

She’ll be waiting there for us all.

And what a great joy there’ll be

When we see her again

She's With Jesus Now was written during the funeral of my sister. I really don't know how to explain the song or even the feeling behind. I believe that words tell it all.

He Gives Peace

He Gives Peace

By: Casandra Lambert

(Verse 1)

It doesn’t seem fair,

How could this happen?

Families shouldn’t have to go through so much pain.

But in the midst of all the sorrow,

We can know that God is still by our sides

(Chorus)

He gives us peace

That passes understanding.

He gives us strength

When we cannot go on

He gives us comfort

When we are hurting

He is by our side

When we are all alone

He’s our God, and He is here.

(Verse 2)

The hurting is as its worse.

And the tears fill up our eyes.

We feel like we have lost everything.

Still in the midst of all the pain,

We can know that God is still by our sides.

(Chorus)

He gives us peace

That passes understanding.

He gives us strength

When we cannot go on

He gives us comfort

When we are hurting

He is by our side

When we are all alone

He is our God, and He is here.

(Tag)

Peace, strength, and comfort.

He gives these things….

For He’s our God, and He is here.

This one was written on Christmas day 2009, on the way to a funeral home. One of the few darkest days of my life. The day after my oldest sister passed away from pneumonia. I didn't understand why this could happen to our family, and family who loved God with all our hearts. But all the while one verse kept going in my head "He gives peace that passes all understanding..." 

The Rose

The Rose

By: Casandra Lambert

(Verse 1)

A beautiful rose,

Picked for the right one,

Taken away by someone who didn’t care.

Thrown to the ground, and trampled upon,

The beauty within is now all gone.

It’s broken and torn

No one will ever want it.

Till this man comes along

And picks it up off the ground,

He takes it with him.

(Chorus)

He wants the rose!

Even though it’s been trampled

Even though it’s broken and torn

He wants the rose!

Even though the beauty’s gone,

He wants the rose!

(Verse 2)

He takes the rose, makes it His own.

He loved that broken rose

He gave it all it needed

He restored its life,

And made it beautiful again.

(Chorus)

He wants the rose.

Even though it’s been trampled

Even though it’s been broken and torn

He wants the rose.

Even though the beauty’s now gone

He wants the rose.

(Bridge)

When you feel like you’re worthless

Been trampled upon

Even though you’ve been broken and torn

And your beauty’s all gone

(Final Chorus)

He wants you!

Even though you’ve been trampled

Even though you’ve been broken and torn

He wants you!

Even though the beauty within you is now gone

He wants you

(Tag)

Jesus wants you!

And He’ll make you the beautiful rose…

Again

The Rose. Oh how I do love this one. It has a meaning that some might not pick up right away. It talks about how you may feel so worthless, like nobody cares anymore.. but there is one person who loves you.

Press On

Press On

By: Casandra Lambert

(Verse 1)

You have a past,

You’ve made mistakes.

Every day you hear people say

You’re still the same, you’ll never change.

And as the days go by, that same old past continues haunt,

Reminding you of all you’ve done wrong.

As you sit alone, planning to give up.

You remember what happened in your life not long ago.

(Chorus)

Keep pressing on,

Keep running toward the throne.

Forget those things that are behind you,

And reach out for the things before.

Don’t listen to what they say, Keep that faith,

And keep pressing on

(Verse 2)

I know the path looks so rough ahead,

You can’t see though the storms, over the hills, or around the walls.

You know it’s gonna hurt, but you gotta run strait through.

You start to run, you feel the pain.

And even though at one point you feel like giving in,

You know that you have to…

(Chorus)

Keep pressing on,

Keep running toward the throne.

Forget those things behind you,

And reach out to the things before.

Don’t listen to what they say, Keep that faith,

And keep pressing on.

(Bridge)

Fight the good fight,

Keep the faith,

Lay aside everything that’ll hold you back,

Run with patience,

Finish the course.

You got people on your side, cheering for you.

And when you’re done

They’ll see you get the crown

(Final Chorus)

So keep pressing on,

Keep running toward the throne.

Forget those things behind you,

And reach out for the things before.

Don’t listen to what the people say…

And keep pressing on!!

Press On was written to a friend who was going through a rough patch in their life.  It was my way to tell him and every one who read it or hears it... to keep pressing on even when everything seems to be going wrong and people are expecting you to fail.
