there is an assumption that God has total control over everything. If god had total control, then there would be no free will. Events in one's life spawn from another event previous to that. Maybe you were late, or early, or just said something to make someone feel a certain way. You can argue god orchestrated the chain of events to happen, or that we choose our fate by our actions rather then conscious thought and planning, proving he does have a plan. Or you can believe we have total free will, and god dictates nothing, all he did was shuffle the cards, if you will.
