Legacy of Faith and Family -Veronica Weatherspoon

In this beautifully inspired episode, Veronica shares about the legacy of faith in God, and the importance of strong family relationships, in the midst of tragedy. Veronica was born in Columbus, Texas and raised in Prairie View, Texas. She is the oldest of four siblings. She was brought up in a loving Christian home. They consistently attended church services, Sunday school, and Vacation Bible School. Veronica remembers as a child spending a lot of time on the weekends and holidays, at her grandparents’ home. They were godly grandparents, and they made sure they attended church regularly. Her grandparents were very family oriented. During their visits, they would make sure Veronica and her siblings got to know the rest of the family. Even years later, Veronica still does family research to stay connected with family. Her mom was a single parent and raised her four children alone. She was a registered nurse for Prairie View A&M University. She worked very hard, both full time and part time, to make ends meet. Veronica remembers her mom being very strict. As the oldest child, she had to help her siblings with their homework. Her mom wanted to make sure they were all independent. When they attended college, they were very responsible and had to work to help their mother with the bills. They also had to save their money for summer school, from the previous semester's Pell grants. Veronica’s mother relocated to Houston, Texas where she worked as a registered nurse at Texas Southern University. She eventually retired as a teacher in the Health Sciences Division. Veronica, her mom, and her siblings were very close. She spoke to her mom almost every day. On this particular Sunday, they both went to church. But after church, her nephew frantically tried to call her. Tragedy had struck home. Veronica is here to share her family's story with us. Thank you, Veronica.Prayer Requests Can Be Submitted on our website: www.thekingdomtruth.org (https://www.thekingdomtruth.org/music by www.free-stock-music.com
