The Lord works in mysterious ways

Well, I was getting by with my huge disappointment of not going to college. I am so crazy about things, because it never occurred to me I could go the next semester. I always think things are final and that if I encounter a setback then God has closed the door. I had been working hard at my job which was at the new Hardees they had built on the southern end of town. I now was driving and had my first car which was a 1986 Ford Escort Station Wagon. How cool was that! Not very for an 18 year old boy, still I loved it because it was only five years old. So I thought it was practically new. Of course I had paid most of the money for my mothers car a 1984 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera.That was without a doubt the nicest car we had ever owned and cost 3,000 which to us was a fortune!
I was doing well enough, they liked me at work since I had Hardee's experience I was a key employee and I was unofficially in charge of the kitchen. I was getting to go to Tateville and go to church which my mother had tried to stop me from time and time again. And I was getting to know my uncle Vola and aunt Pam more and more and became more and more concerned about their soul and began praying very hard for them. I didn't know how, but I knew God was going to take care of me and that he would make it up to me about not going to college and it was about to happen!!
Growing up I think it's important to know I had several dreams. I wanted to be in Real Estate and was to study that in college. I wanted to sing and be on tv. I wanted to own a restaurant and have a brick home. I also wanted a daughter those were my dreams. Now one day at work I was working the drive thru and a lady comes through and she has a name tag on and it says Peggy Bell Professional Real Estate Company. I told the lady that is what I had wanted to do and how I had been supposed to go to college and take classes (which is how I thought you had to do it) but I didn't get enough money to go. She asked if I could make payments on Real Estate School?
I said well I don't know how much would it be? I did have a little over 200 dollars which, of course no one knew about. She said well the school is 400 and you would need half down, the class takes 6 weeks and you would need to have the other 200 paid by the end of the class. I nearly burst I shouted I can do it!!! I got her name and number and I knew God had known more than I did. At college I was going to have to borrow thousands of dollars and wait 4 to 5 years to start working.This lady had offered me a job in just a few weeks time!! Look out future here I come!?!
