My name is Meghan Hill. I currently live in Columbus NC. I have lived in the mountains of Western North Carolina my whole life. I am surrounded by an amazing family in Christ. If it wasn't for their prayers, love, support, guidance, and encouragement I wouldn't be where I am today.
I was raised in church, and saved when I was 16 years old on a youth retreat to Panama City Beach Florida over spring break. Our youth group was involved in missions in the States. We re-roofed houses in Chicago, painted drug houses with gangs all around us, and we did beach evangelism and back yard Bible studies in West Palm Beach Florida. We also participated in LOVE LOUD and we went around to area elementary schools and cleaned the playground and did landscaping.
2 years ago I felt God calling me to more than just my daily routine. While I was living day to day however I wanted and went to church on Sundays there were people dying without ever hearing about the love of Christ. I began praying about what God wanted me to do, and I asked a core group of friends to pray with me. Long story short….I quit my job and bought a plane ticket to India! While in India I worked in orphanages, children's homes, leprosy colonies, visited the hill tribes, and visited A LOT of village churches. Getting on the plane to come home from India will always be one of the saddest days in my life. I left my heart there! I recently returned from a mission trip with my church where we handed out Christmas shoe-boxes to children in different villages in Northern Honduras.
Being in India and Honduras surrounded by those amazing children just confirmed for me that there is more to life than the way I live in America. God does not call us to be comfortable Christians, in fact He calls us to do just the opposite. We are to leave everything and follow Him….but in leaving everything I know and that I am comfortable with I am gaining the entire world (squatty potties and all)!!
My absolute favorite song of all times has become the theme for this time in my life….
"All I know is I'm not home yet,
this is not where I belong.
Take this world and give me Jesus.
This is not where I belong."
