Imagine recognizing God’s hand in every facet of your life, even in something as seemingly mundane as choosing a homeopathic remedy. In this uplifting episode of Homeopathy at Home with Melissa, we’re thrilled to continue our encouragement series with a focus on unique healing journeys. Brie and I delve into the profound ways that homeopathy mirrors our spiritual growth, sharing personal stories and insights that illustrate how both our physical and spiritual paths are tailor-made by God. We explore the idea that just as remedies and healing timelines in homeopathy are unique to each individual, so are the ways God works within us.

As we journey through Psalm 139 and reflect on how beautifully we are each crafted, the conversation becomes a tender reminder that our growth—whether physical or spiritual—unfolds in its own perfect order. Brie’s anecdotes about her own marriage and the lessons learned through homeopathy shed light on the patience and grace required to see God’s plan manifest over time. Whether you're keen on understanding homeopathy or seeking spiritual encouragement, this episode offers rich, heartfelt reflections that will resonate deeply with your own unique journey. Tune in and be reminded of the personalized care with which both your body and soul are being healed.

Speaker 1:

Welcome back to Homeopathy at Home with Melissa. Hey, Melissa.

Speaker 2:

Hey Brie, I am super excited to jump back into our encouragement series, and so tonight, today, we're going to talk about your point number three, which was what?

Speaker 1:

Number three is unique healing journeys. So to do a quick recap, if you haven't listened to the other two, I'm just going over these points that I talked about at the retreat, which was amazing. So when you see it advertised again because we will do it next year, you need to sign up. It was wonderful. But God just has used my journey in homeopathy the experience with my family, with clients, in classes that Melissa's teaching while we're talking with people Very often there'd be a principle of homeopathy that would remind me of a principle of spiritual growth and not I am not at all wanting to glorify homeopathy or turn it into homeopathy is in the Bible.

Speaker 1:

You know it's really the spiritual side was totally separate from homeopathy. But, just like anything else in our lives, god has used my role here and what he's taught me and homeopathy to reflect him. So I would encourage you to think that way about anything you do. Um, there are that. You should be able to see that everywhere. So this is just a way God has revealed himself to me and encouraged me in my walk. So we're just going over them and hopefully that'll encourage you.

Speaker 1:

So number one was healing comes from the inside out.

Speaker 1:

Two was stimulating the body to heal takes time.

Speaker 1:

And now three today is we all have unique healing journeys.

Speaker 1:

So the principle in homeopathy that that reminded me of this was just recognizing that the process of healing with homeopathy looks different for everyone. Remedies that we choose are different for everyone. How long it takes to heal, how the symptoms move around and are pushed out of the body looks different, and sometimes, from the outside or even when you're the person using a remedy, that healing can feel really out of order based on what we're seeing on the outside and even sometimes based on what you're feeling. But they are unique and they're still powerful and meaningful and lead to healing. So in the same way, or in a similar way, our spiritual journeys are unique. So our journey to spiritual growth, our journey of sanctification, god's plan for each of us, overarching God's will, is very similar to glorify him, to tell the world about him, to know him more deeply. But the way that that comes out in our life is very tailored to our individual needs, to our circumstances, to how God has wired us um to our calling to our calling.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, I mean, and even this, like God is showing me stuff in homeopathy that other people can learn these same principles not even using homeopathy, not even knowing anything. Um, but yeah, that's really good. And you know, psalm 139 talks about that how God has, uniquely, he's knitted each of us to knit knit that's past tense, I know this I homeschool knit us all together in our mother's womb and created us in his image, but individually. Created us in his image, but individually. And there are times in our lives that the order of our growth might feel out of order, whether we're assessing that in ourselves or even in other people. I know for sure in my marriage so if you've been married at all there were things in my husband when we were early married. I'm like it'd be really nice if God worked here. And now, looking back, gosh, I'm so thankful that God, in his sovereignty and in his grace, chose to work in him in the ways that he did. And the growth in those other areas has come. But you know, in my outside perspective, in selfishness, truly, I was like I want those to come. I wanted those to come 10 years ago. But I can look back and see how the way that our family has built his vision for our family. I would never flip it anymore Seeing what I see now. And so that's how, in other people's lives, we have to remember. So in homeopathy we're often that's how, in other people's lives, we have to remember. So in homeopathy we're often it's easier to assess from the outside.

Speaker 1:

I actually think sometimes in spiritual growth, with people close to you, it can be more difficult to see and celebrate their growth. Um. So God, who created us, shaped us and knows his original design and purpose for us, knows that better than anybody else. So our whole life here is a constant process of pointing to eternity. So we can know that his methods of growing us are trustworthy and the way that that comes about we can rest in that are trustworthy, and the way that that comes about, we can rest in that. Um. I also think it's interesting knowing like we are moving toward eternity, which we maybe get a glimpse of, but we don't know. We have an idea, we have faith in the things that God says about eternity, and I just think of people who have been sick for a really long time and are just, you know, like so discouraged they can't even remember or imagine walking in health again and they still choose to take their remedies and do what they need to do, committed to getting better, really in faith. And I think, in the same way that we, when we are committed to our growth in our individual ways, that we are trusting and hoping in something greater that we don't, we haven't experienced yet. Um, and along the same lines, where are?

Speaker 1:

We are created uniquely, which means we are all when we know Christ, we have surrendered to Jesus and we are part of the body of Christ. The Holy Spirit gifts us also uniquely and individually, to serve the body. Romans 12, 6 says we have different gifts according to the grace given to each of us. So even in that regard, knowing that our gifts will look different than those around us, we should also expect that that process, the development and the refining of those gifts, looks different. It's not like you're learning an instrument and so everybody just goes to a piano lesson or a guitar lesson and you're just equally like. You're a beginner and I'm in middle, intermediate, advanced.

Speaker 1:

Melissa and I have talked about the discernment, like you, and I have mentioned a lot how God is developing that in us and even how our processes look very different. Our experiences getting there look very different, but I just want to encourage all of you to lean into those ways that, whatever the circumstances are around you, the other people God has in your life, lean into the ways God's working to refine you and your gifts and know that it will be unique to you and that's good and a thing worth celebrating. And use that for the body and not comparison, not judgment, on other people. We are not all gifted the same, and so you can be really flourishing in an area and gifted in an area that somebody else is not and that can be valuable. Together it doesn't can be you create unity rather than division or resentment or whatever. So that's in a nutshell, and do you have any thoughts, melissa?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so comparison is a thief of joy and, um, so I love that you said that that we, as soon as, as soon as we understand, um, our God given gifts and how he wants us to use them, and that we are each unique and just to be yourself. Really, there's just so much freedom in that. And then you know, that even made me think of as you all learn, to how to help your family and your and your friends and your community with homeopathy. None of you are going to do it exactly like I do it, so you're not going to, so you can. I don't want you to get stuck. Those of you that are listening and watching, I don't want you to get stuck in. Well, I you know that you have to do it just like me or just like Bree or just like anybody else, because you're not going to.

Speaker 2:

So, as I'm bringing people onto my team to take cases under my supervision and you know I'm teaching each person, you're unique, but teaching each person, you're unique.

Speaker 2:

So I want you to take the case in your own style. I want you you're going to think of remedies that maybe I wouldn't think of, or, but so, as long as the plan is appropriate and actually can work, then I'm not going to say, oh no, no, we don't know, that's not what I would do. I would do this because then if I did that, you would never, ever think you'll never be just like me. So there's no, you wouldn't be able to grow in that. So I always encourage people to grow in their own unique way and and that's even you know, that's yes, in your spiritual gifts and in your walk with the Lord, but then also in homeopathy, as you're helping your family and your community, you're not going to do it exactly like anybody else and you don't have to you are really good at that, really good, and it's I mean, it has to come from a place of humility, but you really trust in the Lord and I think that's why you so easily like celebrate other people.

Speaker 1:

Um, even when we do case reviews or I talk with you about an idea I have, even if you share something different, you always are like but you could try that, that's not a bad idea, or try it and maybe it would be great. And there's not any pride or ego where you're not creating other people to just be like you. Um, and there's not a threat when somebody is not and that's like not an easy place to live. I feel like that takes intentionality.

Speaker 2:

Thank you for that. Yeah, I want, I want a diverse team, you know, because people different people are coming to me and I can't make everybody happy and I don't. I don't want to expect to, but you know, if I can see, when I do these free discovery calls, if I can, sometimes I can see. You know what this person is a good fit for Kimberly or Bree or, you know, lisa or whoever I've got. You know whoever in the future might be working with me. So anyway, thank you for sharing that. I love these points. This is so fun to do.

Speaker 1:

I'm so happy you're like, I mean, that I get to share them this way. It feels really good. I do feel like it's something that God has just shown to me, so being able to share it is great. I love that.

Speaker 2:

I love it too. Thank you for sharing it, so we'll see you guys next time for point number four.
