I still remember walking to my first Cornerstone meeting—I
knew nobody, had no idea what I was doing, and was unsure
if I would even come back. But all these semesters later, I
know that Cornerstone has been one of the greatest gifts
God gave me for my college years. Thank you everyone so
much for all the years of laughs, trials, and making fun of my
ridiculous quotes. God’s love and faithfulness was shown to
me every minute I worked with you all, and I cannot be more
excited for what is to come!

In my first semester as part of Cornerstone, we amended
our mission statement to say that our purpose is not only
to celebrate the beauty of the Christian Gospel, but also its
truth. Every week is a reminder of that mission as we gather
together to have fellowship, experience God’s common grace
amidst our fumblings, and to make fun of Kathy. Cornerstone
has been the single greatest blessing in my college life — it’s
more than a magazine, and I thank God for the opportunity
I’ve had to follow in the footsteps of those who have gone
before me in this publication and pray for those will come
after, knowing that one day we'll be united as beauty compels
us all to deeper truth.

I joined Cornerstone because I wanted to deepen the
exploration of my own faith and because I wanted to be a
part of a community that was seeking the Word of God.
Cornerstone became more than just a magazine, more than
just writing and editing and a weekly meeting. It became an
integral part of my life at Brown, and I cannot imagine how
I would have grown as a Christian, a person, and a writer
without it. I will always remember and be thankful for the
conversation and laughter we all shared, not just as a team
creating a magazine, but as a community coming together to
paint a vision of faith.

God is so good! Even in my hardest times at Brown, when
I have wandered furthest from Him, He has been present,
patiently waiting and quietly working for me. Cornerstone
has been a huge part of that, a constant presence of faithful
believers, patiently bearing with me in much the same way.
That joy of fellowship, of a shared commitment to Christ and
the expression of the beauty of His gospel, has been a great
blessing to me and it is my joy to see that carried forward.
