My need to attend church was taught to me by my dear mother. She had a hunger and thirst to serve her Savior. We as children went regularly to Sunday school and church. She sacrificed to send us to a Christian day school. Through the years and changes there in, the Lord has led me to Integrity Christian Fellowship. One of the things I appreciate about Integrity is our Under Shepherdess, Pastor J. A. Grove. Her way of relating the Gospel and the truths of the Bible are refreshing and anointed. Pastor Grove walks and teaches in a paradigm of honesty. She can speak of her own life experiences, good and bad in a manner that edifies and teaches. For some reason this honesty encourages my faith. Sometimes it is difficult to sit under Pastor Grove’s tutelage related to the fact that she will teach the pure Word of God and that Word has a way of convicting me that is uncomfortable. BUT, it leads me to repentance and a brand new, clean heart and spirit. It gives me strength to keep on keeping on, which is my responsibility to my Pastor, my fellow believers at Integrity, and my Lord. The Integrity Family is a comfortable family. We grieve with each other and we rejoice with each other. Our common bond is the Lord Jesus Christ. Through the awesome praise that ascends to Him each time we meet as a body, the Holy Spirit of God meets with us. There in His presence is found joy, the release of burdens, and healings. He is faithful. Integrity is a place where His faithfulness, love, healing, understanding, righteousness, gracious-ness and mercy are found operating through Pastor Grove as it pours from the Throne of God and filters in a never ending River of God to the Saints at Integrity. I thank and appreciate my Savior for leading me to a part of the Body of Christ where His Integrity is upheld and practiced. |

The Tear That Touched Heaven A single tear rolling down my cheek falls silently on my bed sheet… but God hears.
Loneliness has become all too familiar, singing out the old cliché ; but it’s not my friend – it’s the deceiver of my soul and the thief of my dreams… but God’s here.
The tear that fell to earth touched heaven as Hope begins to rise, rolling in like the mist at dawns’ first light ; its’ fingers reaching out to mine… I hold onto them like a lifeline, and I believe God Cares

AWAKE Jagged edges, shattered pieces I've lived their brokenness Desperations flood my soul Worlds away the warm caress.
Feelings foreign to my heart Parade their emotional distress Where is my Champion, Companion, Friend The One who brings redress?
I do not know the finish time But pronounce His visits sure I soak Immersed In waves of Love His Spirit says, "Endure".
So, I will dance attendantly Count His promises as "yes" Let go of frantic, self attempts Flesh force to push, to bless.
His eyes and ears, These senses mine He's returned to right the wrong. Awake! My soul, Rise up to fly To His chambers I belong.

Master Plan Excellent is the way of God Planning higher than all can see He moves mountains with His eye Yet listens tenderly
He calms the vicious storms within By His sovereign Word Taming all to be Mastered When His Spirit is heard
To those who love and obey Him His unselfish plans are grand Who take His voice as their life And His Spirit by their hand

River of Light God is Life In all I see As He continues to split darkness Dividing His Light from the night in me
His love shines brightly In the darkness of me Truth abounds and hides no more When it's Him I see
A river of joy Flowing truth from His heart Releasing me free No longer being a prisoner of the dark
