I forgot to mention my other favorite crewmember: Mizram. Mizram is from Jamaica and has been working on cruises for over 30 years. He is one of the most joyful people I've ever met and always has a smile on his face. Mizram is truly inspirational. I know that it is not easy to smile every day, but he makes it his mission to spread cheer. When I ask him how his day is going he often replies, "My God is good, so I am good." He is constantly singing worship songs and talking to students about God's love. One morning I was seasick and felt sorry for myself, his Jamaican voice popped into my head and I heard "My God is good, so I am good." With that new perspective I decided to get over my pity party, eat some saltines and enjoy the day. I am grateful for his open love for God and that he shares God's love with all the students.

What an inspiration....I wish I could have met Mizram and felt his passion for God! Tell him your Mama from Oregon sends smiles his way and is now saying "My God is Good, so I am good!" xo
