As we walked up to the waterfall, the land was brown and dusty. When we arrived at the falls, everywhere the water touched was green and growing. In the same way, everywhere Jesus reaches, we see growth in dry situations. I hope that everywhere we went, we left behind life. During our clinics, I prayed to see with the eyes of Jesus and be his hands and feet to a desperate world. Well, that desperate world doesn't change when we leave Uganda. Even though we aren't in Africa, we still need to be His eyes, hands and feet to everyone who sees us. Not just for big stuff like going to Uganda, but every day towards the people in our lives.
You don't need to be in Uganda to make a difference. You can do it right now, today, in your own home. Ask God how He can use you. Look for ways for people to see Jesus in everything you do. You will be astonished at what you discover.

Paul shares his struggles with doubt and frustration as he pursued a greater purpose and calling. It's never easy, and not always obvious, but following Jesus one step at a time will unlock greater meaning, adventure, and life than you can imagine.

When Paul McDonald walked onto the USC campus as a freshman quarterback he was ninth on the depth chart. He started as a 9th Stringer! To make matters worse, Vince Evans, the Trojans starting quarterback was stronger, faster, bigger, and could throw the ball waaaaay further than Paul. "If that is what it means to be a quarterback at USC I have no chance," was racing through Paul's mind. Paul went from this humble position at USC to becoming a starter on the Trojans national championship football team, an All-American quarterback, and an eight year career in the NFL. How did Paul do it? He discovered his own path to becoming the best quarterback he could be and not someone else's version of one. Paul spent countless hours in the film room to elevate himself into being a top level cerebral quarterback, which led him to Rose Bowl triumphs and the opportunity to play in the NFL for the Cleveland Browns and Dallas Cowboys.Paul's journey provided him with the thrill of running through NFL football stadiums, but he was also forced to make the rough transition to sitting in a corporate office cubicle. This path led to some unhappy times for Paul until he discovered the secrets of diving inward to find the things in life that he truly loved, even at the same job that he previously disliked. His story provides great hope to people struggling with being at a place in life that lacks purpose and joy.
