From time to time

I've learned through my life, and while reading a book by E. Richard G. Scott, that Heavenly Father doesn't want us overly dependant upon Him. If we think of all the gifts and power that he has given and continues to give us, we'll see that He does this, so that we can accomplish what we know needs to get done on our own free will and choice.
There is evidence of this in 1 Nephi 18:1:
"And the Lord did show me from time to time after what manner I should work the timbers of the ship"
Nephi didn't need constant and complete oversight with what he was doing. He needed guidance from time to time.
God guides. I know He does. Sometimes we forget that. I'm certain however that if you'll look back on your life. You'll see some specific instances when He led you and showed you 'from time to time' what you needed to do. Feel free to share those with me and others in the comment section.....
