2025 Wrapped

Quote from the Author

From the desk of Ninja Knight Productions (JF)

“Welcome to the new year in the year of our Lord, 2026. I hope this year started off right and strong for you. We, Ninja Knight Productions (JF), are preparing new content—blogs, poetry, short stories, reviews, gaming videos, GFJ reels, and possibly book publication—this year. With your support, feedback, and prayers, we can make this a productive and engaging year. I feel this year is our year, not just for great content, but I’m exploring new avenues and setting goals to become versions of ourselves. Whatever God has planned for you this year, we pray that 2026 will be a year of healing and new opportunity, revealing a new edition of yourself. Let’s make 2026 a grand year. No matter where you start, make today your first step towards your success.”

BLUE SKIES. (1st Year Anniversary)

January 4th is the first anniversary of Blue Skies.

January 2026 Benediction

Lord, thank you for your grace and mercy throughout 2025. Thank you for helping us through another year of life. We praise you for all you’ve done for us, even during our tough days and seasons in 2025. Thank you for opening doors, for keeping our families and friends, for providing for us at the right time, and for reminding us of Your promises and words. As we walk into a new year, may that same grace and mercy You’ve given to us throughout our lives overflow in the new year and years to come. Give us peace as we walk into an unknown future, knowing You hold our futures and You guide our steps. Give us healing and deliverance from toxic spaces and bonds and provide our needs each day. Most of all, give us a new mindset. Release what’s holding us back from our destiny. Renew and refresh us with fresh strength and wind to keep us persevering through new challenges. Restore us, so we can walk into our healing and new self for the new year. Though we have goals and plans for 2026, we pray Your will be done, guiding us towards the right path. Let this new year be our year to find healing through our darkness. Help us meditate on Your Word and remember Your promises, so we can walk on the righteous path of our lives. Whatever comes, please, Lord, keep Your hands around us, so our faith and confidence in You will remain despite what comes our way. Above all else, we thank you for everything You’ve done and what You will do now and forever. In Jesus’ Name by Your Holy Spirit, I pray. Amen.

February 2026 Benediction

Lord, thank you for helping us through another month. Help us learn our history, make today memorable in our deeds, and prepare for a future unseen. God, I pray as we celebrate one hundred years of Black History, help us to not only learn of our history but also appreciate the successes and sacrifices of our black brothers and sisters who fought for our freedoms and dreams today. May we not dwell on our past but learn from our history to make a better world each day. Teach us to trust in Your ways and remind us to come to You in these difficult times. Though our future is unknown, give us peace to ease our anxious minds about the future and focus on today. Teach us to love one another as You have loved us, so others can share the love among their communities and the world. Thank you for Your love and Your grace shown to us daily. Help us appreciate today’s blessings, so we won’t have any regrets. In Jesus’ Name by Your Holy Spirit, I pray. Amen.

Q1 2026 Goals

In 2026, I’m introduced new goals for all areas of my life, including gaming channel. This quarter, three major goals are reaching at least 400-500 subscribers, receiving 1,000 monthly views, and uploading 500-1,000 annual total videos (May extend it to the Quarter 2 Goals starting April).

Other goals are adding new content (new games and video content), creating a flexible schedule for gaming and my other passions, creating a newsletter for Ninja Knight Gaming, and publishing gaming content on other platforms. Check all my yearly goals for 2026 on my WordPress website.

February 2026 Schedule

The first week of February is my break and catching up on content before introducing new content.

Dead by Daylight

10th Year Anniversary

In celebration of Dead by Daylight’s 10th Year Anniversary, I will post new content of all the survivors and killers I have (using the new DBD 10th Year Anniversary portrait as thumbnail). In addition, I will create playlists for each character. If you like a certain character, you can watch all their diary/journal videos from beginning to end

2v8 In-Game Event

Black History Gaming Week

In honor of Black History’s 100th year, I’m playing Black-inspired characters from different games at the end of February (like my Black History Month 2023 Playlist).

Fall Guys’ 2026 Spring-a-thon

Spring is around the corner, and a new Fall Guys Season-a-thon begins. The Season-a-thon is my new Fall Guys challenge to publish Fall Guys content every day for five weeks during the transition of seasons. Each day will have specific modes to try, including Knockout and Solos every day (doubleheader on Sundays). Check out the schedule for more information.

This year’s Spring-a-thon will begin March 1st and end on April 4th. In addition, I will do three more Fall Guys Seasonal Challenges this year: Summer-a-thon in June, Fall-a-thon in September, and Winter-a-thon in December. I will share the dates of those seasonal challenges later this year.
