Ending the Year in Light!

Let’s pray 🙏🏾 and get this day underway♥️!

Good morning my beautiful family ☀️💛. As we stand on NEW YEAR’S EVE, I can’t think of a better scripture to both END this year and BEGIN the next than John 1:5. The verse reminds us that the LIGHT shines in the DARKNESS, and the darkness CANNOT OVERCOME IT ✨📖.

That LIGHT is JESUS CHRIST, His WORD, and His TRUTH 🙏🏾. And here’s what I love about this scripture: it doesn’t pretend the darkness doesn’t exist 🌑. It doesn’t deny the UNCERTAINTY, the FEAR, the CONFUSION, or the HEAVINESS some of us carried this year 😔. Instead, it boldly declares that darkness is POWERLESS against the LIGHT 💡.

We all know how light works 🔦. You can be in a pitch-black room, unsure where to step, but the TINIest LIGHT—a candle 🕯️, a phone screen 📱—changes everything. You’re no longer blind. You can MOVE, TURN, and STEP FORWARD with confidence 🚶🏾‍♀️. That’s exactly how the WORD OF GOD works in our lives 🙌🏾.

God may not floodlight your entire future 🌄, but He will always show you the NEXT STEP 👣. And when Jesus is with you, you never walk alone 🫶🏾. As we close this year and step into 2026, let’s commit to staying IN THE WORD, IN RELATIONSHIP, and IN THE LIGHT ✨.

Let’s make 2026 THE YEAR OF THE LIGHT 💡. Let Him ILLUMINATE your path, your choices, your conversations, and the rooms you walk into 🏠. Darkness doesn’t win. LIGHT ALWAYS DOES 🕊️.

🕊️Scriptures to Meditate On🙏🏾

• Psalm 119:105

• Isaiah 60:1

**Side note: I share a nightly devotion every evening on my page and it’s entitled A LIGHT IN THE NIGHT 🪔 and it is entitled that for this very reason because if we can just take scripture every day, meditate on it focus on it let it get deep down in our hearts, Jesus promises that he will light your path!! AND HE DOES!!

An in-game inventory screen from Dredge shows cargo, fish types, and boat stats. A prompt instructs to "get everything that the collector asks you for and deliver them," with a pocket watch highlighted.
The game screen shows a boat docked near a "Ruined Mansion" on Blackstone Isle. Overlay text reads "one last visit to the isle."
Guide to Dredge's Bad Ending
this is the easier ending to get just because of how straightforward it is. Deliver everything that the collector asks for. The pocket watch is the last item. When you deliver it the game will warn you that there's no going back. Follow the light to the correct spot. The time will be stuck
