Romania’s Girls Trip

At the end of May, we had the opportunity to go on a vision trip with Kim, the founder of Uncaged. Kim pulled together a group of ladies that have supported Uncaged. Our hearts are linked together for the cause of helping prevent, restore and rescue ladies from human traffickers.

This trip provided an opportunity to bond with these precious ladies pictured and learn more about the culture and beauty of Romania and visit the Sanctuary where the girls once rescued can stay. We had a full itinerary!

Corvin Castle that is pictured was gorgeous and my first castle to visit. We sang Hallelujah in the chapel and it was such a beautiful moment. The castle to me represents the sanctuary that is not pictured due to privacy reasons for the girls. This castle holds rooms that had treasured guests just as the sanctuary holds these types of rooms

The key on the door represents us; we are the key to help prevent, educate others, rescue by financially supporting Uncaged and praying for change.

There is a bridge leading to the castle and the bridge represents the freedom highway that we are currently rescuing ladies on to bring home to the sanctuary.

The small dog pictured is Chance, we helped rescue him and is safely home at the sanctuary. Everyone deserves a Chance to be rescued and restored. Just like Chance the traffic survivors need this Chance. The sanctuary is equipped with therapists. an art room, a garden , ropes course and a serene environment.

As I stand in the vastness of this castle’s courtyard, I am so little. But our God is so big and he sees the problem here in Romania . He is with us and is calling us to be a part of something so big that only He can accomplish.

So join us, (picture of all us in front of the conference where heartbeats was held) Kim did a an amazing job sharing about Uncaged to a 1000 or so young adults with us by her side.🤍. Beni translated and he is on the ground in Romania working tireless hours in all areas for Uncaged. We believe we are part of transforming lives and giving hope to bring these girls home and be restored into beautiful butterflies.

Peonies- Beauty In All Forms
Peony Market’s Springtime
Sabbatical Gathering🤍

Peonies are perennial flowers that come in unique shapes and colors. Peonies draw us to their beauty with various colors and forms. God makes all beauty. When I chose Peony to be the name of the small business it seemed perfect. Discipling women has been a big part of my ministry. Women come in many shapes and forms of beauty. All of the colors of peonies bring different meanings to us just as women in everyday life. Mike, my husband came up with ‘Market’ to go along with Peony. I loved it, Peony Market. We would curate unique gifts to purchase and bring beauty.

Peony Market began November of 2018 when we hosted our first market in Brookhaven. I appreciate Marilyn who jumped on board to help with bookkeeping and staging the market. We enjoyed fellowship at the mart. I thank my friend, Lynne, who never missed a market; she helped in every way. I want to thank everyone who supported the market. It was truly so much fun curating the gifts and hosting the markets. The gatherings were energetic with friends who came from near and far. We had meaningful fellowship and were able to give back to Uncaged. Uncaged will always be a ministry that we support personally to bring freedom and healing to women. The sanctuary in Romania is a beautiful refuge for women to come and have the proper therapies to be free from bo***ge.

Personally, this next season is going to be a sabbatical of rest and spending time with family and friends. I believe everyone needs to take time to pause, rest and dive deeper into their spiritual journey, enjoying the people that God has placed in their lives.

Peonies are a gorgeous flower to remember that beauty is intricate with lots of petals that make up the bloom. Let’s help each woman whether through supporting Uncaged or the women in your life go from a bud to a full bloom of beauty. Peonies are my favorite as well as helping women be transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit. It is our job to plant the peonies in full sun, help water, fertilize, break off dead blooms and attend to the plant. The same is true for the women in our lives.

Good morning! We have a few more weeks of winter before we enter the beautiful Spring season. Each season has its own beauty. Winter has its beauty of less activity and a chance for us to recharge and renew. Enjoy today's blog, Be Still and Know. Have a beautiful week!!

www.peonymarket.co/blog/2022/2/23/be-still-know

Winter is a great season for our roots to be nourished like the trees that are bare. They are being nourished from the depths of their roots. Our souls are similar to needing that time to soak up all the nutrients to make it bloom for the Spring. This week we are in Vermont for fun and its specta

Happy New Year!! We are a couple weeks in… New beginnings are always exciting. Do you love new beginnings?

New agendas, calendars with beautiful pictures; and freshening the desk by cleaning out the old. It feels so good to begin the year with a fresh start.

But you know, with God, it is a fresh start everyday. His mercies are new every morning. God’s mercies are new every day and he is full of grace and love. To know that God meets us where we are each day is a gift that is eternal.

“ The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning, great is your faithfulness. The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “ therefore I will hope in him.”
Lamentations 3:22-24

God designed us and has created His own Masterpiece. He knitted us together in our Mothers’ wombs. He is the designer, having woven us into His story. Yes, we are in His story.

Your hands made me and fashioned me; Give me understanding, that I may learn Your commandments. Psalm 119:73 NASB

God being the designer, he has woven us in the story of now. So we have the opportunity to open our Bible and read the story that came before us. The Story of how God provided a rescue plan through His son, Jesus. A helpful resource to read is the book, Woven, by Angie Smith. Her book highlights important people and events. The book helps us see the whole picture. We are offering the book online at www.peony market.co

Let’s begin this year reading His word, receiving His mercy each day. Everyday is a day in His story…..enjoy it and relish His goodness. 🤍

I'm taking a stand for survivors and supporting the work of Uncaged today! Let's show survivors there is a WAVE of people committed to their healing and restoration. We can be the generation that ends trafficking once and for all. Check out to learn more about how YOU can bring hope to survivors worldwide. Here are 3 KEY facts about survivors:

1. 48+ Million people are enslaved right now, more than at any other time in human history.
2. 78% of trafficking survivors in Europe are from Romania and Moldova.
3. Without a safe place to go, 80% of survivors will be re-trafficked. Uncaged offers holistic wraparound care - close to 90% of survivors they have worked with are still free 5 years later.

If you learned something new just now - join us! Post a photo of yourself wearing blue and tag to spread the word and stand with survivors.

Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy gathering with your family and friends.

A Psalm of Thanksgiving “Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth. Serve the Lord with gladness. Come into his presence with singing! Know that the Lord, He Is God! it is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving,

Fall is such a beautiful season with the trees adorned by color. Each leaf is like a jewel on a branch. The leaf shimmers in the sun as the beams of light sift through it. God has a way of beautifying His creation in nature. As the leaf burns bright, so also God adorns His Bride, The Church.

“I will greatly rejoice in the Lord; my soul shall exult in my God, for He has clothed me with the garments of salvation; he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself like a priest with a beautiful headdress, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.” Isaiah 61:10

Peony Market’s jewelry line is a beautiful way to give a perfect gift to those you cherish, including yourself! Enjoy the shop online and read today’s journal, Adorned With Beauty (link in bio)

Live each day knowing that God loves and pursues you! You are Adorned with Beauty🍂🧡

Gardens Blooming At Uncaged’s Sanctuary For Trafficking Survivors In Romania🌱

They are collaborating with experts in agronomy, the science of managing our land and producing crops.

Survivors practice vocational skills when they tend the land, skills that will travel with them a long after their time at the Sanctuary.

Just like this garden, seeds of hope and restoration have sprouted and are growing! Your support and encouragement makes it possible.

Isaiah refers to God’s people in this way as “Oaks of Righteousness, the planting of the Lord would be glorified.” Isaiah 61:3 These oaks are a picture of how God sees you and me. “The word oak, like the word pillar, connotes both strength and stability. “(sermonwriter.com)

He has planted us where we are in the world to stand tall, offer beauty, bring strength, lifting arms like branches praying for our neighborhood and world. The beauty of a tree stands the test of storms and relishes as the Sun and Rain nourish it. We are like the tree in that we are nourished by the God’s word . The word is the living water and God, The Son and Holy Spirit is what causes us to grow in beauty and strength.

God has planted me in Brookhaven and given me and Marilyn a business to grow. We desire this business to bring beauty to those near and far. The products we offer reflect the components of Isaiah 61. The heart of the passage is to bring restoration to God’s people.

God has placed Uncaged on our hearts to help free these precious women in Romania from the horrendous crime of human trafficking. A portion of each purchase from Peony Market provides funds to help these women obtain freedom and to thrive through healing programs at the Sanctuary in Romania. We are currently curating gift packages for business owners to offer their clients or employees. For example, we can curate a gift package for real estate agents to show client appreciation at closings. So, please contact us at [email protected] with any individual needs. We can design a unique gift for you, so you don’t have to shop for a gift card or special gift. Also, please mark on your calendar Nov. 11th and 12th for our Fall Event. Join us in supporting Uncaged by shopping with us giving these women a chance to grow into beautiful well watered Oak Trees.

Here are some of our Oaks of Righteousness products!

Please tell us how we can help you with gifts this season and in turn help women at Uncaged become Beautiful Oak Trees.

Hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend with family and friends!

Starting this week with fresh flowers to inspire you to be all God created you to be!

This vessel is so versatile and can be used in so many spaces. The glass tubes display beautiful blooms, greenery or dried flowers. The pop of color adds joy to your home or office.

Just as the flowers and creation bring God glory with their aroma and beauty permeating our earth; we bring God glory when we are His aroma to those we cross paths with daily.
