Blessed Beyond Measure

By CBM National Intern: Mark Martens With the end of the year coming up, we can sometimes find ourselves reflecting on what has happened in the past year. For me, as our time at CBM Headquarters (at Tuckaleechee Retreat Center in Townsend, TN) is coming to an end, I have found myself thinking about the past few months here and all the blessings that Lord has given me.   Blessed with Opportunities When I was first accepted to CBM’s National internship, I knew that I was going to be busy. I just did not realize how busy it was going to get sometimes. We were ...

CBM Interns – Jesus Became Like Us

By CBM National interns, David and Elizabeth Price As Christmas approaches this year, I find myself thinking a lot more about Mary, the mother of Jesus. Having just recently given birth to my own baby boy, I have a lot better understanding of what Mary went through. Traveling to Bethlehem at 9 months pregnant must have been agonizingly uncomfortable, and giving birth in a stable rather than the comfort of her own home surely added to the pain and nervousness she was probably already feeling.

We can’t thank Him enough for the experience He has already given us. God has shown us three ...

It's always a little adventure on my own where I find a quiet, private place to seek solitude. During training at CBM's National Headquarters in Tennessee, I would walk to the top of the mountain.

I've found such refreshment and ...

CBM Intern – Serve Others for the Glory of God

By CBM National intern, Capree Simons These past two months at CBM’s Camp Victory, God has used a book I was assigned by the Camp Director, as well as the Released Time classes I have helped with, to teach me many valuable lessons including compassion, generosity, and humility. All of these lessons can and should be applied to our daily routines, especially as believers, as we are called to live a life like Christ. As children, we are taught by our parents, our teachers, and our churches that we should always be nice to others and treat them with kindness and respect. ...
