Patience

By Adam Lowry, CBM National Intern - It’s hard sometimes to wait, especially when others are getting something before you.  As an intern, I am raising support for a mission trip and I have only raised a small portion of the dollars needed for my support account.  Some of the other interns have already collected at least 50% of their support, and I feel left behind. Me, as a person, I want to be the person ahead of everyone; I want to be the one who has it all together.  During all this waiting, who are some people in the Bible who had trouble with patience and what did they do about it? One of the best stories of patience is the story of ...

CBM National Intern- Being a Servant Leader

CBM National intern, Devyn Polk -    One thing I never thought I’d be is a leader. I like to follow and work behind the scenes, but not lead! Yet, God’s plan always prevails. “Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.” ~Proverbs 19:21 This summer, as a CBM National Intern at Camp Ta-Pa-Win-Go, I am the Junior Staff Coordinator. I am in charge of the Junior Staff girls. We clean up after the meals, clean the gym, chapel, bathrooms, etc. “…Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant.” ~Matthew 20:26 God is teaching me to be a servant leader. I ...

Taking A Step Of Faith

By CBM National intern, Devyn Polk -  Faith - strong belief or trust in someone or something. "For we walk by faith, not by sight." 2 Corinthians 5:7  Taking a step of faith can be nerve-racking. When I applied for the CBM National Internship, I took a step of faith. I wasn't sure what I'd be doing or where I'd go. "Putting our faith into action is all about taking the first step on an uncertain journey. As others who have made this journey will tell us, it's not the actual going that is difficult. It is 'going without knowing' that is a bit unnerving. There are no maps on the journey of faith. We navigate by the starlight of ...

Christian Internship- The Importance of Fellowship

By CBM National interns, Scott & Jerri Carpenter - The definition of fellowship is friendly association, especially with people who share one’s interests. Awesome enough for us Christians is that we share the best thing in the world, our love of God! There are two things I like to think about when it comes to fellowship: who can fellowship and what is supposed to be a part of fellowship! Who can fellowship: You can fellowship with one other person or sixty other people! That is what is great about it. Sometimes it is nice to just sit down and talk for hours with one person. You can also eat a meal, play games, and talk with twenty ...

Four Labels You Need to Let Go Of

By CBM National intern, Paul Daly- I’m at that point in life where it’s time to discover who I am. What do I believe? How do I think? Who should I be? Recently, I’ve become a label collector. Labels are good, if used correctly. Through them, I’ve learned a lot about who God has made me to be. But sometimes, we need to lose those labels because they hold us back. We say things such as, “Well, I can’t do that because I’m this.” Or, “Well I’m this and you’re that, so we can’t be friends.” So often we use the labels as limitations rather than a means for liberation. Labels should tell you where you need to grow and what ...
