God's Will and Plan

To me God's will and plan are synonymous in nature. I have talked to many people about this and some say that God's will varies from his plan. I can't fully recall how they made that distinction but personally if there is one it is a very very minute difference. This idea is closely related to the idea of predestination. I understand predestination as this: God sees or knows our lives from birth to death. Now he knows all the decisions we will make throughout the entirety of our lives HOWEVER we still have freewill in that we ourselves make those decisions without any knowledge of our future. This is my understanding of when it says in the Bible that some are predestined for heaven and some for hell. God knows what happens at the end and therefore knows who will choose Him and who won't but this doesn't mean he makes people choose him or reject him this just means he simply has the knowledge of who will. So His will and plan for us are synonymous in that He wants the very best for us but knows what we will do and there for has everything planned out according.
