Throughout Scripture God talked to ordinary people, and He'll talk to you too! He told Abraham when to leave home (See Genesis 12:1), and Jacob when to go back home (See Genesis 31:3). He told Elijah where to find food in the middle of a famine (See 1 Kings 17:1-5). On two different occasions He stopped Paul from walking through what appeared to be a door of opportunity because He had something better in mind for him. The Bible says: "Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way. The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way. All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies." Psalm 25:8-10). Nothing is more important in life than being led by God. Other people's input should confirm and clarify what God's already telling you. But until you've heard from Him, you'll be tempted to think other people's ideas are God's leading—and that can hurt you. You're unique, and God has a unique plan and purpose for you. When you're not sure which way to go, stand on His promise: " And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them." (Isaiah 42:16). It doesn't get any better than that!
