This is the final episode of this chapter of Island Hopping.  You now have, at your fingertips, a complete journey to be who God has created you and gifted you to be.  And I'm inviting you to walk into your have-ness.  

Thus, you're now free to move about the cabin.  Explore all of the eight Islands, of your journey to be, either for the first time or all over again.  Never stop learning and never stop growing.  For your life is the greatest journey that you'll ever take.  And your journey can and will impact the world.  My prayer is that your impact will be a blessing to the world.

Every want to needs a motivation.  Sometimes you simply want to be someone.  But sometimes you need to understand why you want to be someone, before you actually start being that someone.

Sharing who you are, in Jesus, means that you need to share all of you.  The good, the bad and the ugly.  When you stumble (and you will stumble) you need to get good at fessing up to your mess ups.

The first step on this Island has to be you simply making a list of the people who are in your oikos, right here, right now.  For you'll never hit a target that you can't see.

Jesus didn't give us a new religion.  Jesus didn't give us a new law.  Jesus gave us the unforced rhythms of grace.  So, now you are called to go out and do the exact same thing.  Live with your oikos, in the unforced rhythms of grace.

You've been called to share your faith in Jesus with others.  Why not focus your Time, Talents and Treasures on sharing your faith in Jesus with your oikos?  Afterall, you've already done the hard work of relationship building.  Now all you need to do is be yourself, right out in front of them!

Sharing truth outside of a relationship is a waste of time.  Its meaningless, a chasing after the wind. For open dialogue, love and relationship are needed in order for truth to be successfully shared and heard.

Everyone has eight to fifteen important people in their lives.  This is your "oikos" or household.  These are the people on which you have the greatest impact, because these are the people with which you're living your life.

All of your relationships are purpose driven.  When it comes to God, what purpose is driving your relationship?  The goal is to take a different path, in your relationship with God.  Be in the relationship, simply for the sake of the relationship.
