Being a woman of integrity doesn’t always mean you will hit the mark. What it does mean is that when you miss the mark you know how to admit it so that you can move on, thus not giving any place to the devil. The mark for all believers in any given situation is to handle things according to God’s way of doing and being right.
To have integrity is to have consistent actions, values, methods, measures, principles, expectations, and outcomes. Integrity can be regarded as the opposite of hypocrisy in that integrity regards internal consistency as a virtue, and suggests that parties holding apparently conflicting values should account for the discrepancy or alter their beliefs.

It’s good to hit your mark, and as we grow sharper in the Word of righteousness it gets easier to do so. But for those times when your aim is off, whatever the conflict you can alter your shot by bringing yourself in alignment with the Word of God.
The Bible says to confess your faults or shortcomings to one another. This means when act in your fault, don’t be prideful and try to cover it up but humble yourself, confess to God for forgivingness and cleansing then confess to the another believer so that you put the devil on the run — quickly.
Beloved, be not conformed to this world’s way of doing things but be transformed by the renewing of your mind that you may prove for yourself what the good, acceptable, and perfect will of God is.
