Nevertheless I Went Forth

1 Nephi 4:6-7
"6 An I was led by the Spirit, not knowing beforehand the things which I should do.
 7 Nevertheless I went forth.."

This month has brought a lot of confusion and uncertainty about many different aspects of my life and I have been feeling a little lost lately.
It is so very true that Heavenly Father knows exactly what we need to hear, and so in church this week the Sunday school lesson was on revelation. This was so perfect because I have been praying a lot recently about the direction that my life is supposed to be headed and whether or not I am on the right path. I know that answers from heaven can sometimes take a long time, but it gets frustrating at times not knowing what the Lord wants of me. In my class someone said "If we are wondering why Heavenly Father is being silent, perhaps it is not that he is silent but that we are just in a really really loud place". I think it has always been easy for me to get distracted with the business and the distractions of the world that I don't take enough time each day to sit in a quiet, undistracted place and listen to the spirit. Also, I need to be working on doing all that I can to follow the commandments and live my life the way that I should be so that when I do receive revelation I can have confidence that it was the spirit testifying to me and not just my own thoughts because they will be the same.
We talked a lot about Elder Bednar's analogy of the patterns of light in reference to revelation and I feel like what is going on in my life is very similar to the analogy of the foggy day. He is giving me just enough light to only take a few steps ahead.
It is important for me to be like Nephi, and to know, although I may not be able to see what my future is, that Heavenly Father has a plan for me. He is just waiting for me to trust in him and move forward with faith so that he can unleash a boatload of blessings that he has handpicked out of love.
