Gotta Pee

Ever been so excited that you have to pee. I have especially noticed it before a big speech or a big race. It is talked about in nervous conversation, many TV scenes, and usually good for…Long, real uncomfortable seemingly “will this ever end” moment

Embarrassment
A good laugh
Relief
Conversation

Medically – it is caused by nervousness – anxiety – internet search showed that… Anxiety means danger, and the body responds to that by stimulating the muscles in preparation for action to deal with the danger. This leads to contraction of all the muscles in the body. As the muscles contract then the urge to urinate grows. The more anxious you are, the more urgent the need to urinate becomes. Peeing is seems to be one of the hardest things to control because it is a natural bodily reaction. Once the urge hits you, then it’s nearly impossible to control.

People try to battle this symptom through:

Medication
Breathing exercises
Change of diet
Mental exercises
Going to the bathroom more frequently
Therapy groups
Depends
(didn’t see anyone on the internet mention… praying about it… to the One who created it)

Some feel the need to urinate at least 20 times a day. It can wreak havoc on their personal life as well as their work lives however there are a few benefits. It is a great excuse to get you out of a long sermon, graduation, or meeting. But here is a great use of it… (read this in my daily bible reading today and got me thinking...)

The Red Sea saw them coming and hurried out of their way!… What’s wrong, Red Sea, that made you hurry out of their way?... What happened, Jordan River, that you turned away? … Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob. He turned the rock into a pool of water; yes, a spring of water flowed from solid rock. Psalm 114

Never really thought about the rest of creation in awe and nervous fear around Almighty Creator Father God, but makes real good sense. In the moment the river moved, bowed , and got out of the way, trying to do something… but the rock (inanimate object) could not move… oh - the trembling excitement and fear…hmmm…

…to stand in the presence of God…

… what the judgment will be like
… what heaven will be like…
… to see Jesus face to face…
… an imperishable eternal body…
… to get to approach Him, to speak to Him personally
… have an audience with the King
… to thank Him for salvation…
…that God would even choose…
...choose to be near me
… real close
...even have something to say to me
… desire to use me…
…that God would have something big for me to do
… right now
… now after thinking about it… gotta go…
