Does God predestine every sneeze, every attitude, even how I respond to people and events?

Well, everything you do is contingent and God is in providential control of all things, so, in one sense, yes, certainly, without question. But even so, you choose what you choose because it's what you want, and you do what you do, and respond how you you respond, for no immediate reason beyond that you want to.
