Learning Curve

I feel like I've been on a steep learning curve since getting married. The problem is, I'm a perfectionist. I don't like learning. I like having learned something, and now being able to master it. I feel like so much of what I "knew" about our relationship has been changed, and so much more needs to be re-navigated as living together is different then being engaged primarily because no one can go home.

It's harder having this day-in-day-out relationship. And, as I mentioned, being a perfectionist I tend to look at what I do wrong instead of God's grace.

But God is so gracious because he's given us time in this learning curve - time to be together and time to make mistakes (a lot more then I would care to admit). He's constantly drawing us to himself, bringing truth and forgiveness to situations, and just teaching and growing us.

Yes, this is a steep learning curve, but it is good. It is good to get to know Magnus in a deeper and more intimate way. It is good to experience grace and forgiveness on a daily basis. And it is good to have my perfectionist tendency chiseled away at. 

No matter how I may dislike the learning process, it will be one I am in for the rest of my life and I need to learn to humbly submit my all to him and rest in His grace all the more.
