Out of the fires of refinement, come the praise of His magnificence, the brilliance of His glory, and the honor of His precious Son, Jesus Christ.

Though the fire and water tried to overtake me, I have come out to a place of great abundance and God has given me hope again.

Prayer without faith is as futile as a body without breathe.

Genuine faith comes forth from the iron smelter of affliction.

God sees Himself in the eyes of the refined soul.

God is omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent. He is intricately involved in our lives and for that alone, we should be thankful.

The fires of refinement will shine the light of Christ into the dark places of our hearts, burn off the chaff, and restore us to a state of greater purity.

This life is a journey and it is one that can be snatched right out of our hands. Therefore it is wise to know where you are going when you leave this life behind.

Abiding does not mean sitting idly by. It means resting in the work, resting in the moment, resting in the truth, resting in the confidence that God is your provision.

Discipline is the result of an action, while refinement is a preparation of your calling.

Let God direct your Today, He knows what is coming in your Tomorrow.

Inevitable is not the same as immediate, Sieh--and love does not mandate forgiveness.

Come now, I was not about to let that thing eat you.

I know it is coming, and I do not fear it, because I believe there is nothing on the other side of death to fear

Everything seems pointless since you left

I look forward to growing old and wise and audacious.

Love, you drive me to distraction.

I love working with women - I love women - and we need more women directors. We need more feminine sensibilities in movies.

I possessed what is called the best of hearts -- a dangerous possession, as it is generally accompanied by the strongest passions, and the weakest judgment.

I hope and believe we are paving a better future for female artists to come

I never bought the commercial thing, at any stage of the game.
