If I purposely change the path I walk on, am I interfering with gods predertimination of me?

If God is truly omniscient, then whatever you ultimately end up doing is what you were predetermined by God to do. You're not "changing" anything, because God would always have known that you were planning one thing and then would later change your mind and do another.

Omniscience is not to say all-controlling, prior knowledge of something does not preclude control of it.

Take for instance I know that tomorrow the sun will rise, or maybe tonight a meteor will destroy the earth, or clouds will cover the sky or it might rain. Knowing all these could happen, if any of them do does that imply I have control over them?

This is your logic, it is very limited circular and faulty.
It does not match anything I have read in the great books. I doubt you have really read any of them. And of what if anything you did read, you understood .00001% of that.
