Yesterday, I completed my second 三步一拜 at 光明山. Now, my legs feel like they don't belong to me anymore. I feel like I'm going to roll down the stairs anytime. Maybe I should call upon Archangel Raphael for healing. :)
Just to share Angels are there for us in our everyday lives. You can call upon them for help and assistance anytime, anywhere, and not only on special occassions.
Finding a Parking Lot
The place was so crowded when we reached, and were having a hard time finding a parking lot. One option is to park our car far far away. I'm feeling lazy, and I know after the session, we will be so tired to walk. So i did what i do best: Ask the Angels for help! I asked the Angels to help us find a good parking lot that is not too far, and the next min, we saw a car moving out! :)
Strength & Perserverance
I haven't been exercising for a while, and i was pretty worried about going for 3 steps 1 bow. Didn't help that my experience last year was pretty bad. I think i almost knocked out last year, my knees giving way and barely able to complete the session. I remembered i was totally dragging my body there, with the husband beside me, cheering me on. I was really worried this time. Will i faint there? Will i have the energy to complete? To make things worse, i was feeling sick after dinner, that i almost didn't make it to the session. I really wanted to be able to complete 3 steps 1 bow with all the kneeling, and not walking, hence, again, i call upon the Angels, to give me strength and peserverance to persist to the end.
Wow. I'm amazed myself. Where did my stamina and strength come from? I just kept walking, kneeling and bowing, walking, kneeling and bowing non-stop. Even my problemetic knee felt ok! It's only till the last part where my knees were totally bruised and felt painful when i kneel, when i said "Angels, pls give me strength". Surprisingly, the pain seems to lighten, and i completed the journey with relative ease. I even have the energy to do a full 大礼拜 though i didn't cos the floor is wet and i didn't have any clothes to change. I'm totally amazed.
Thank you Angels. thank you, thank you, thank you. now, please heal my aching legs. :p
