00:00:18.848 --> 00:00:23.808
Hello, this is Lynda again on Rooted&Real.

2
00:00:25.808 --> 00:00:31.168
We're going to do the final episode of
How to Disappear and Come Back Stronger.

3
00:00:33.768 --> 00:00:35.488
Now, this is the final one.

4
00:00:37.208 --> 00:00:43.888
'Return Unrecognisable.' And that's
the final truth about disappearing.

5
00:00:44.808 --> 00:00:46.808
You're not disappearing to punish them.

6
00:00:47.488 --> 00:00:51.448
You are disappearing to find you again.

7
00:00:52.408 --> 00:00:55.768
And when you come back,
you'll be unrecognisable.

8
00:00:56.488 --> 00:00:59.008
Not because that you have
a new wig or new clothes.

9
00:00:59.048 --> 00:01:00.448
Those are easy.

10
00:01:01.408 --> 00:01:07.328
But because your energy is different.

11
00:01:08.208 --> 00:01:09.608
You don't argue like before.

12
00:01:10.288 --> 00:01:12.008
You don't chase like before.

13
00:01:12.528 --> 00:01:15.088
You don't beg to be chosen like before.

14
00:01:18.728 --> 00:01:21.248
You come back with boundaries.

15
00:01:22.488 --> 00:01:25.008
Remember, NO IS A COMPLETE SENTENCE.

16
00:01:25.928 --> 00:01:29.048
With peace, with standards.

17
00:01:30.448 --> 00:01:37.408
Some people won't like the new you because
the old you was easy to control,

18
00:01:37.448 --> 00:01:39.848
easy to guilt-trip, easy to use.

19
00:01:41.328 --> 00:01:43.048
Let them be uncomfortable.

20
00:01:43.648 --> 00:01:44.768
That is not your problem.

21
00:01:45.728 --> 00:01:51.448
Returning unrecognisable
does not mean you come back to show off.

22
00:01:53.008 --> 00:01:59.128
It means you come back so healed
that you don't even need to show off.

23
00:01:59.168 --> 00:02:02.088
You just live, and you live well.

24
00:02:03.008 --> 00:02:04.208
You love better.

25
00:02:04.968 --> 00:02:07.648
You protect your peace like rent is due.

26
00:02:09.688 --> 00:02:17.648
So my people, if you're in the dark season
now, stay there just a little longer.

27
00:02:18.248 --> 00:02:21.968
Water yourself, fix your crown in private.

28
00:02:22.888 --> 00:02:30.608
When it's time, believe me,
God will bring you out in His time.

29
00:02:31.168 --> 00:02:35.128
And remember, He makes
everything beautiful in His time.

30
00:02:35.728 --> 00:02:38.688
And then they will say,
"What happened to you?"

31
00:02:39.688 --> 00:02:46.288
And you will smile and say,
"It happened to me." You didn't disappear.

32
00:02:47.408 --> 00:02:49.048
You transformed.

33
00:02:49.968 --> 00:02:52.888
Thank you so much for
walking this journey with me.
