Be anxious for.... homeschooling high school.
Be anxious for ...the finances to home school high school.
Be anxious for....curriculum choices for all your kids for next year.
This is the way I have been acting and Philippians 4:6 was such a good reminder to ...
"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God;"
If I keep it up, Prov. 12:25 says
"Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression."
And I'd much rather have the second half of Phil. 4:6 instead! "- the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding..."
This is also a comfort from Ps. 138:
"The Lord will perfect (= accomplish, finish, fulfill) that which concerns me."
-Which at the moment, can you guess? It's homeschooling high school. : )
I'm so glad to have Him in on this! I believe it was His plan before it was Zach's desire or mine. So, I think I'll let Him be in charge and provide and I'll step down.
The Lord doesn't want us anxious and depressed. He's so good to us! : )

I feel for you. I completely know what that is like. I think you will find that it's not as daunting as you thought it would be. Praying for you.
GREAT post, Becky. And I'm watching with intensity, as I know I'll have to think about all this and face it in the years to come.
Blessings,

Amen! ~Yvonne
