God absolutely is always in control of everything...

Ah, you missed the point, FK. I was being sarcastic. You feel that God is not in control if He allows free will, so you impute that He doesn't.

Whether you were being sarcastic or not, what you say is not correct. God can be both in full control and allow some free will. For example, after salvation I say that we have some free will to sin. This must be so since we do sin and God does not cause sin. God is still in full control because He already knows about it. He can use it if He chooses for His own purposes.
