Mystically Marvelous and Mysterious

What does God wonder about? From the beginning of time, he's had this plan that involves you and me and a whole lot of others. Now, when I get an idea, one that requires cogitation and is important to me, I may start humming and thrumming my fingers; my foot could bounce and my head might unconsciously bob as the thought progresses from its nebulous stages of pre-formulation to post-production, if and when it is fully realized. I might grab a pen to record my idea before I forget it, write it down somewhere and hope I don't misplace it before I can remember to start working on whatever it was that occurred to me that I considered worth thinking about. Then I "think," whatever that means, on my idea. And somehow, I (might) get busy on connecting the dots of my thoughts as they may or may not become traced into being, by whatever energy I decide to muster--which in itself is all a very fickle process. Who knows how many thoughts occur to me before I even recognize them as "my" ideas.
Now, when God has an idea, He can choose to actualize whatever he's thought about from the beginning of time; deciding from infinite ideas, drawing upon an unknowable number of resources to see that He gets what He wants...but is stopped dead in His tracks by the One Thing He's chosen to place before himself that could delay or frustrate the realization of His choices: our free will. Isn't it a bit mystically marvelous and mysterious that God may be wondering how to work around our free will?
