Thank the GOOD Lord I made it through this!

We had to give ANOTHER presentation today.

There I was.

Standing at the front of the amphitheater with my microphone. Looking out at my audience. With my PowerPoint behind me the size of a movie screen.

There they were. Multiple departments. Assistant Vice Presidents. The EXECUTIVE Vice President. And my CEO. I couldn't miss his bright red sweater slip in the back and take a seat dead center.

My hands began to shake.

The heat began to tingle throughout my body

I felt the rapidly rising cherry-red hue of my face.

I started to sweat.

My heart was pounding so hard, I seriously thought it was going to burst through my chest and fall out on the floor.

My mouth suddenly went completely dry, and I felt like it was full of DRY cotton.

The chunks began to rise to my throat.

I said a little prayer "Jesus, PLEASE help me through this presentation".

Before I knew it, my turn was over, and I handed it to two of my colleagues. All three of us nailed it. I felt so proud. I felt on top of the world. I thanked the Lord over and over again.

Now, it's done. We received so many compliments and our CEO was very impressed...or so he said.

Phew. Now, I can breathe again.
