Yes, God does work in mysterious ways and sometimes things happen a certain way to get you to focus elsewhere.
I'm glad you were able to reschedule your appointment. See, you've made a new friend this afternoon and who knows...you two may become best buds!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
