Please take the time to read my story behind the scenes of a busy few months!
FROM TRUSTING PEOPLE… TO TRUSTING GOD
For most of my life, I put my trust in people.
Family. Friends. Even people I barely knew.
I have always been the person who wanted to help others, to give, to support, and to do whatever I could to make someone else's life a little easier.
But over time, that trust was broken again and again.
Eventually, I found myself asking God:
“What am I doing wrong? Show me the way forward. Teach me to put my trust in You instead of putting all my trust in people.”
That prayer changed the direction of my life.
The printing business started because I wanted to help someone. I invested in the equipment, put in the time, and tried to make things work. But along the way, I was constantly questioned about why I was doing things a certain way and why I was doing so much.
And slowly, I realized something.
I had spent so much of my life trying to please people, help people and earn their trust — while forgetting where my own trust should really be.
So, I gave it to God.
I prayed and told Him:
“Lord, I don't know what the future holds. But I trust you. Show me where You want me to go.”
The very next morning, something happened that I will never forget.
A company phoned me and asked me to come and do welding work for them — the very work I had studied and built my career around.
And from that opportunity, NGP Welding Consulting & Inspection began.
What started as one phone call has grown into a journey that I can honestly say has been guided by God.
And today, I am still building.
The printing business — NGP Printing Service / Veld Kind — is still here too.
Sometimes it may seem like orders are taking longer than expected. Sometimes I may not respond as quickly as I would like. The truth is, I'm doing most of this myself.
I'm running two businesses, trying to keep everything moving, learning as I go, and doing the best I can.
But I'm not giving up.
Because I have learned something far more valuable than business:
People can disappoint you. People can let you down. But when you put your trust in God, you are never walking alone.
So, this isn't just a story about two businesses.
It's a story about faith, failure, rebuilding, and learning to trust God.
I don't know exactly where this journey is going.
But I know Who I'm trusting to lead me there.
And that's enough. 🙏
Thank you to everyone who has supported NGP Printing Service, Veld Kind and NGP Welding Consulting & Inspection.
I'm still here.
I'm still building.
And with God's help, I'm only getting started.
