Why Do We Fight Diaper Changes?

(For obvious reasons, this is not a picture of a diaper change :-))

Eli, like many babies/toddlers his age, has decided that diaper changes are no longer his thing. Every now and again, he doesn't mind, but most of the time changing his diaper means a wrestling match and desitin in more places than it needs to be.

I thought about it and how often to we do this too? Heavenly Father can see that we are "stinky" and we could use cleaned up. There are things in our life that need to change or that we need to do that we are putting off. Maybe we are putting off learning something. Whatever it is, Heavenly Father is often trying to find ways to help us change and learn so that we can become better, but often times we fight him tooth and nail over it. We think that we are comfortable enough how we are. We are used to our current diaper and don't feel that there is a great need for a change. After all, we will have to break in the new diaper. We don't have the for sight to see that the longer we wait to change the more likely we will "get sore," and the harder it will be to clean up the mess that we are in. We would be better off to cheerfully accept the fact that we need to stop what we are doing for a minute so that we can become better and cleaner and move forward. In the end life is cleaner, more comfortable, and overall better that way. Besides, you'll have more friends with a clean diaper on :-).

(P.S. - I appologize if there were too many references that make those of you who do not change so many diapers uncomfortable)
