Storytelling God themes is a biggy for me. We all have stories to tell, and mine seeks a place in the journey.

From my studio/gallery in Warkworth, New Zealand – 2018 Storytelling God philosophy religion

Best ways to keep in touch with what I learn, and a disclaimer

• Subscribe to my newsletter. When I figure out how to easily manage updates, you will be able to join my journey.
• Follow my musings on Twitter, Facebook,  LinkedIn,  Google+, Instagram, and Pinterest.
• You can find out more about me at About Ian Anderson or check out my awards history.
• Emailers, please note: It’s nice to hear from readers and fans alongside protagonists and sceptics, but I receive too many to respond to all! If I did, there would be little time to produce any artwork. 
• Freedom of speech stimulates discussion. My blogs explain my insights, opinions, and revelations (light bulb moments). You are free to disagree, but gossip, slander, and outright cynicism are a pain. Note: Administrators will delete all abusive responses.
• Please note: Like you, I am mortal and hamstrung with limitations. I exercise free will, learn mercy and act out forgiveness. If my heart were as big as God’s, I would love as well as He. Don’t believe the lies that God is a prick. There are times my limitations are obvious, but I talk to God on all subjects, seeking answers and personal breakthroughs into knowing His heart. These blogs represent what I discovered.
  

Let the journey begin

You will learn heaps about me. You will laugh, cry, get ticked off, wonder, question, get inspired, want to marry me, want to hate me, and wonder if I am sane or insane. Whatever the outcome, you’re motivation will be reactionary.

This is a fact, I give Jesus (the King of all Kings) the credit for creating a brain for me to use. I am an eternal spirit, living in a dirt body made of flesh, limited by my time’s use-by date. Freely, I have chosen to take Jesus at His word, and the mystery of God’s eternal existence overwhelms me with awe. 

It is also true that the multiple wonders I experience through daily living are narratives I like to paint and talk about.

An exhortation to all who have stuffed up and seek more out of their life journey

I believe in Jesus and am amazed by God’s eternal existence. The wonders I experience daily inspire me to share my stories with others.

To anyone who feels they’ve messed up and wants more from life: Transparency is key, and I encourage you to find hope after shame. As hope grows, so does faith. True love is possible, and joy will come. My story shows that past mistakes, depression, and even thoughts of suicide don’t have to define you forever.

Yes, I am “brainwashed,” but in a good way. I’m letting go of negative traits like selfishness, prejudice, anger, and jealousy—things that torment us inside.

We only have one life. Use it wisely. If you’re struggling, ask God for wisdom. He will guide you through His wise teachings in

Note: The Bible is not a religious book and was never intended to be. Embedded in the Bible’s mystery and overseen by His eternal, Pure Holy Spirit, is God’s passionate love for all human hearts. If you are hungry for a new life, the manufacturer’s handbook is for you.

Enjoy the ride and check out my art at the links below. Remember, my artworks may never have greeted the 21st century if I had never found life after shame in Jesus.

Enjoy your journey, and looking forward to catching up on the next blog. Have a great week. Ian.
