NWPhotoVideo Belongs to God: The Voice of Truth Over Every Voice of Doubt
There comes a point in your life where you have to decide which voice you are going to believe.
The voice of doubt.
The voice of fear.
The voice of limitation.
The voice of every person who told you it was too big, too broad, too expensive, too risky, too unrealistic, or too far out of reach.
For my entire life, I have heard people tell me what I could not do. I have heard what banks will not fund. I have heard what doors will not open. I have heard what plans are too ambitious. I have heard what people think is possible, practical, or acceptable.
But I refuse to make the opinions of men the blueprint for what God has placed in me.
NWPhotoVideo belongs to God.
It always has.
It always will.
This company is not simply a business plan. It is not just a brand, a production company, a photography company, a broadcast company, or a media company. It is a mission. It is something I believe God placed in my hands to build, to steward, to grow, and to use for His purpose.
Not for pride.
Not for ego.
Not for self-glory.
But for service.
To create.
To tell stories.
To capture moments.
To build opportunity.
To serve families, businesses, communities, schools, events, government, ministries, and people whose stories deserve to be seen and heard.
Psalm 127:1 says, “Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it.”
That is where I stand.
If God is not in it, I do not want it.
If God is leading it, I will not abandon it.
NWPhotoVideo is fully given unto God. I give this company to Him completely. I ask Him to lead me, to lead us, to lead my future staff, to lead every client, every contractor, every partner, every vendor, every person we work with, and every person we come in contact with.
Let this company be a light on a hill.
Matthew 5:14 says, “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.”
That is what I want NWPhotoVideo to be.
A company that operates with integrity.
A company that serves with excellence.
A company that creates with purpose.
A company that tells stories that matter.
A company that builds opportunity.
A company that honors God in every room we enter.
Our mission remains the same, and we are going forward as planned.
NWPhotoVideo will continue building as a full-service production, photography, broadcast, media, marketing, and storytelling company. We will continue pursuing media production, live event coverage, documentary work, corporate storytelling, brand development, education, workforce opportunity, community impact, and the larger vision God has placed before me.
I will prepare the numbers.
I will refine the format.
I will listen to wise counsel.
I will make the plan stronger, sharper, and more responsible.
Proverbs 11:14 says, “Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.”
I believe in wise counsel. I believe in preparation. I believe in order. I believe in doing the work with excellence.
But I will not divert from God’s plan simply because others cannot see it yet.
God is not limited by banks.
God is not limited by lenders.
God is not limited by committees.
God is not limited by spreadsheets.
God is not limited by closed doors.
Proverbs 3:5-6 says, “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”
That is the foundation.
I trust God in all things great and small.
I trust Him when the numbers look impossible.
I trust Him when people say no.
I trust Him when the road is hard.
I trust Him when the vision is too big for others to understand.
I trust Him when the giants stand in front of me.
And for every giant that rises with evil intent, dishonesty, conspiracy, harm, or wrongdoing, I place them in God’s hands.
Let truth come forward.
Let wrongs be confessed.
Let what is hidden be exposed.
Let every heart be convicted.
Let every person be humbled before God and brought to what is right, honest, and true.
Isaiah 54:17 says, “No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn.”
Romans 12:19 says, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.”
Vengeance belongs to the Lord, not to me.
My job is to walk forward in obedience.
I will not fall.
And if I do, I will praise Him and look up, because I know if I fall, it is His hand that caught me.
Psalm 37:23-24 says, “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.”
That is my confidence.
Not that I am perfect.
Not that I have every answer.
Not that the road will be easy.
But that God is faithful.
Win or lose, I will thank Him.
Open door or closed door, I will trust Him.
Support or opposition, I will keep walking.
Clear path or wilderness, I will keep listening for the Voice of Truth.
Lead me, O Lord, and show me the way.
Psalm 25:4 says, “Shew me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths.”
That is my prayer over NWPhotoVideo.
That God would lead.
That God would provide.
That God would correct.
That God would protect.
That God would expose what needs to be exposed.
That God would bless what is in His will.
That God would shut what is not.
That God would make this company a light for His purpose.
The voices of doubt may be loud.
But the Voice of Truth is louder.
NWPhotoVideo belongs to God.
And we are going forward as planned.
