Who Is This Blog For?

I thought this blog would be for women with heart wounds. So, I shared Zoey’s poems with some women. Then some women did something I wasn’t expecting—they shared it with extended family, people at work, elementary age kids. Is my audience mainly women? Or is it men, too? Or little women? Your feedback will help me discover my audience.

This blog is also for anyone who struggles to receive Jesus’s amazing love towards us. Zoey’s poems illustrate Jesus’s heart for us, over and over again. Which is just the same way a baby learns she is loved, by her family showing baby their love for her over and over again. And, when there has been abuse over a long period of time, we need to feel and receive Jesus’s love over and over and over and over again! (As well as other people’s love!)
