I feel like Jeremiah when he said, “His word was in my heart like a burning fire.” I cannot cease sharing GOD’s grace and mercy bestowed upon me. GOD hid me under the shadow of His wings. I was weak from excessive blood loss. I went to the doctor’s office, received a shot 💉to stop the bleeding caused by fibroids that grew to 20 pounds from enduring a
@endworkabusenow toxic workplace environment in the CIT (Crisis Intervention Team) unit 🚨🚔 located within the
@Chicago_Police Academy. The fibroids grew soo large people thought I was pregnant. After the shot I drove to the hospital for🩸blood work to check my hemoglobin. After the blood draw I drove home and went to bed, too weak to get up and turn off the TV. My phone rang late that night but I was too weak to answer. I woke early the next morning losing frightening amounts of blood and clots. I panicked, listened to my voicemail, and learned my hemoglobin 🩸from the previous day’s draw was already critical. Hearing that while losing even more blood, I was about to give up. The blessing was that the TV had been left on and
@JoyceMeyer was speaking; her message gave me encouragement and hope in the LORD. I cleaned myself, brushed my teeth, prayed, and drove to the ER 🏥 with a hemoglobin of 6.4 while still bleeding heavily. Doctors were in disbelief that I could drive myself there with vitals near death’s door. They asked if I wanted a chaplain. In my hospital room my phone dinged with an encouraging
@LinkedIn message just as I was losing faith again—a message I know was planned by GOD. It came from a knowledgeable, compassionate law-enforcement and CIT (Crisis Intervention Team) instructor thanking me for my service and for teaching CIT. That message arrived at the right time and encouraged me not to give up. Satan tried to take my life on 7/21/21. I was discharged against ER doctors’ orders the same day with a hemoglobin of 6.5 after being told I was in serious condition, needed a blood transfusion, and would be admitted for 3 days. I was wheeled to the exit door. I prayed to GOD for life and strength, stood up from that wheelchair, walked to my car, got a burger, and drove home.
Enduring such betrayal and atrocity, I filed a complaint with
@fbi @FOP7Chicago @DOJFraudDiv @IllinoisDHR @USEEOC @ILAttyGeneral @ChicagoOIG @CivilRights and a Federal Constructive Discharge lawsuit (Jacqueline Watkins vs CITY of Chicago) knowing I would receive retribution for such cruelty, even many attempts for my life. On Friday, August 21, 2026, I received shocking news that I lost my lawsuit, dismissed with prejudice. My joy almost depleted, and I called out to the LORD. The LORD laid Scripture on my heart 💜. “I saw it my precious child, I knew you before I placed in your mother’s womb, hold your peace.”
“Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, saith the LORD.”
~ Romans 12:19 KJV
Though, I lost my lawsuit I’m beyond grateful to be alive and was obedient to speak my truth. I’m still a winner in the LORD’s eyesight. I’m glad I was afflicted that caused me to learn and study my Bible. All things work for good for those that Love 💜 GOD. I learned to be content in whatever comes my way, because I trust GOD.
“I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.”
~ Philippians 4:12
Hemoglobin levels of 6.5–7.9 g/dL are classified as severe; levels below 6.5 g/dL can be life-threatening. Normal ranges are typically 12–16 g/dL for women and 14–18 g/dL for men.
“Unless the LORD had helped me, I would soon have settled in the silence of the grave.”
~ Psalm 94:17
