Cycle #14 - $81.92

John B commented on last week asking where and how I landed cycle #14. I looked back at the blog and discovered that the post below somehow never made it to the blog site. Sorry about that. Here it is, from last Thursday...

Sometimes blessings grow up from seed buried in the soil. Sometimes blessings fall from the sky. I’m riding a string of multiplying cycles from unsolicited gifts that have nothing to do with work on my part. I’m not even looking much for them. They are coming, seemingly on their own. Sometimes it seems, increase arrives in this way.

Today I’m crediting a $50 check in a birthday card sent from my in laws for my birthday as cycle #14. It’s a gift, and it more than doubles my current $40.96.

I’m just 21 days into this project and already I’ve doubled the net worth of one penny 14 times. Do that 11 more times in the next 11 months and I hit the mark. I’m beginning to grow more than just curious about this prospect. I’m not exactly excited either. What I’m sensing in myself if mounting faith. This can happen. God can do this in response to my faith, asking, and work.

The “Double Up” adventure is my effort to double $.01 as many times as I can in the year 2010. I hope to run as many as 25 “cycles” which would produce more than $100,000 – about what I need this year over and above my salary to meet additional living expenses. Follow my progress…
