That's your picture:
Step 1: He creates us
Step 1b: He knows our future
Step 2: We live our life

Ergo he creates us with a predetermined future.

Mom and dad have a baby boy/girl
God sees all the choices the baby will make
The baby grows up making those decisions God saw
God in no way determined what those decisions were
Ergo mom and dad made a baby who made it's own choices

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
