This morning I had to present a lecture in classing on Stem Cells and Clinical Potential. I had prepared my slides complete with notes with the hope that the presenter view in ppt would work. Thats a seeting where the projector shows your slides but you see the lides and any notes you may have made. Well guess what, when I tried it, it did not work and I had very little time to actually fix it so I went rogue (lol). I presented without the notes. I didn't ty anything elaborate, just went along with my slides, didn't read from them, gave information on personal information, referenced papers that were relevant and It went well. My classmates actually said "Good job" which is high praise coming from your peers.I prayed alot about this because I am terrified of public presentations. I can talk to a large group of my peers but standing when everyone else is sitting plays on my psyche.
But today, I presented on a topic that I am familiar with, I read up on and I think I am on the road to curing my stage fright (with lots of prayers and trusting God thrown in). I'm remeinded of Paul when he was chosen to preach the Gospel and complained that hehad a thorn in his side, but God said that He would use Pauls weakness as a symbol of the power of His grace.
2 Corinthinians 12: 9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
Toodles,
