Lean Not on Your Own Understanding

By CBM National intern; Paul Daly I am a habitual thinker. Most people don’t notice this, but I can and will spend hours alone pacing the floor, listening to music, and just thinking—about a plethora of things. The reason: I love gaining understanding. During the summer of 2015, when I was serving as a junior counselor at Camp Grace for the third summer, God showed me that the next step for me was to apply to be an intern with Children’s Bible Ministries. I did not understand that at all. Suddenly, my mind was bombarded with an avalanche of questions. Being at the bottom of the mountain, I tried to take time to analyze and give reason ...

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 given so many different opportunities to do so many things. We got to lead ...

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. But mostly, I’ve been thinking about Mary being a first-time mom. Even though Mary had been told very clearly by Gabriel that the child born to her would ...

CBM Interns-How To’s

By CBM National Interns, Scott and Jerri Carpenter The CBM National internship is definitely a blessing from God. We could tell that from our very first day here! The classes alone have already showed us so much. We cannot even begin to imagine what the time we spend at different CBM camps is going to do for us. We have learned new lessons, dove deep into things we already believed to expound even further, and definitely seen how our lives should be shaped by God. We can’t thank Him enough for the experience He has already given us. God has shown us three big “how to’s” for being a Christian since we have started this internship...

CBM Intern – Be Still

By CBM National intern: Sarah Pafford One of my favorite things about serving at different CBM locations is finding new places to have my quiet time with the Lord. 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. At CBM's Ponderosa Bible Camp in Alabama, I would go to the Bluff where you can see three different states. At CBM's Camp Grace in North Carolina, it was sitting by Lake Blue. I've found such refreshment and joy in making time to be alone with God in these places. The life of an intern ...
