Regina Swarn Audio Series Presents - She Waited On God And Found A Love That Heals

Episode Date: October 28, 2025

Fan MailIf you’ve ever mistaken pain for love or rushed a decision because waiting felt impossible, this conversation will feel like a deep breath. We sit with a raw testimony of betrayal and a year of tears that became, slowly and honestly, the soil for a different kind of love—one that shows up, prays aloud, and proves intention in small, specific ways. Think nine-hour drives, coffee at the door, and the steady peace of being seen. It’s not a fairy tale; it’s a kingdom marriage in the making, where faith leads and purpose follows.We also step into Breast Cancer Awareness Month with practical, judgment-free guidance. Early screening saves lives, and many communities offer mobile mammography buses and low-cost programs through local health systems. Faith and medicine don’t compete here; they collaborate. God works through doctors, nurses, and therapists, and wisdom means we pray and we get checked. For caregivers walking alongside loved ones with cancer, we offer compassion and solidarity: your work is heavy, your prayers matter, and your endurance is sacred.The heart of the episode calls us to humility when others suffer. Not every illness or trial is payback. We all carry a cross, and we all meet God one-on-one. That truth reframes grief, quiets bitterness, and opens us to mercy. We close with a full, moving prayer—for healing in bodies, mending in homes, provision in lean times, and courage to keep waiting well. If you’re standing in a tunnel today, this is your reminder that there’s light ahead and you don’t walk alone.If this conversation gave you hope, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs encouragement, and leave a review to help others find it. Your words might be the bridge someone else needs.WRITE TO ✍️ JARETTA http://[e-mail] for 🌟  A message from me to all my wonderful  followers.  Please  feel free to share your feedback.

To another episode of Regina Swaring audio series presents.

It is a beautiful, beautiful morning here. This morning is a beautiful morning. Oh, God, I love mornings like this. You know, just another day that the Lord is made. But anyways, I have a guest that I've had on a week ago. I think it's not a week ago, maybe two weeks. Two weeks ago. I'm bringing back her to tell her testimony to finish up a testimony.

I'm not going to say finish up because, you know, her story goes on and on. But I'm bringing back the amazing, wonderful. Do I want to say minister? Can I say minister? Minister. Sister. Tramford. I'm bringing her back.

Because her podcast broke the Internet, pretty much. What I mean by that, it did so well that I'm not surprised, but I'm very, very thankful to God that I had her on from the start. So welcome back. Welcome back, Sister Ford. Welcome back to the podcast. Thank you so much for coming on. How are you feeling this morning? Well, thank you so much for having me back.

I am feeling wonderful this morning. Just blessed, to be honest with you. Amen. You heard the part I said, but you, I don't want to say, broke the Internet, but you definitely broke the podcast Internet. You did so well. the downloads were just, oh, my God, outstanding. And I told you about it.

I'm just so happy that you were able to come on and tell your testimony because it resonated with so many people. And that's what it's all about to tell a testimony or to bring a story that resonate with people. And so I'm so glad to have you back on. I'm so glad to have you back on. Welcome back again. I said it before, but welcome back again.

Thank you. I'm related that, you know, so many people heard it and they heard, you know, part of my story. And, you know, that's why I just like telling them, you know, everywhere I go. But, yeah. Yeah. Some people were asking me about, like, boy, she was in the park and walking in the park. And they know, especially people that live here, they know that that area is dangerous, you know. This is a dangerous world.

we live in, but they know that area is really bad, and they were like, wow. So, you know, some podcast, people are just sitting there just holding onto every single word that comes out of the mouth of, you know, the people that's on the podcasts. And that's why I say, if you got a story and it in itself is going to, you know, tell the story, but if you got a story that's truthful and it's a story that can resonate with people like that, Oh, my God. So thank you. So today we're going to be talking again about depression.

We're going to be speaking about cancer and different things. And of course, talking about the Lord, because that's what is all about. So I want to ask my amazing sister, Theretta Ford, what's going on in your life these days? Do you have anything to talk about, you know, like any testimonies that you want to share it because, as I said, you know, people are really hanging on to every word. That's fine. Well, yes. I know the last time, you know, I shared with everyone about some troubling things I had gone through. But, you know, I know when we talked, you know, the last time I told you, there's a light at the end of every tunnel. You know, the storm will not last always. And so that's the

season of my life that I'm in right now. Wow. Wow. You said the storm never last always, and that's true. That's true. I mean, we go through storms. When you go through the valley, then God brings us out of that valley and the testimony is awaiting us. So what is going on now? I mean, you know, I'm not being nosy, but I just want to know, like, it sounds like something nice, So I just want to know because you sound, you sound excited. Yeah, I am excited because, you know, more than willing, in December, I will be married. So it's, and I'm 41 years old, so it's been a long time coming. It's been a long road to get here.

Right. Now, I knew about the wedding. I knew about that. And that's why I said, because I gasped a little bit because I'm like, this is October, November, December. It's like, I'm not going to say right around the corner, it's right at the door. It is. It is. And, you know, I couldn't be happier.

Wow. I can, when I speak with you, I can tell that you're very happy, you're like a, it's like a different kind of happiness. It's like, you know, like you've been rescued. Is that, does that make any sense? It's like it's like a rescue, you know, like a, and you feel, you feel like a rescue. I feel like you, it's very happy about it. So, well, you, oh my God, you want to talk about that, a little bit about that, you know, if you want hill. Sure. And like you said, I love that word you use rescue because although I know is God

using this person here on this side to rescue me from some different things that I had, because I haven't always, you know, been in, I've always wanted love, you know. I've always wanted to be in love and to be treated as God said, I need to be treated. But, but, you know, it wasn't always that way. And I can honestly say as a young woman that grew up without a dad in the home, I didn't know what love for a natural man looked like, what it should look like. So that in turn in itself caused me to go and look for love in all the wrong places. and accept anything in any way that was treated,

you know, that was thrown towards me, I accepted it. You know, I thought verbal abuse was love. You know, I thought that someone calling me outside of my name was love. I thought cheating on me and then coming back to me was love. Wow. Yeah, I didn't know. You heard that she thought. that cheating on her was love.

I mean, a lot of times, a lot of times in relationships, you know, marriages as well. People cheat and then they'll come back and they would bring their flowers, roses, whatever, and not just cheat. They might be domestically violent to the person as well. And will come back and say, you know, I'm sorry, I love you. They use the word, I love you. that word is just thrown around so carelessly. And they would use that word, I love you.

And a lot of times the person would take them back in because they feel like either they can't do better or is all that they got. You know, so, yeah, you said a mouthful there. That, you know, wow. Yes, I can remember a time where my heart was so broken. I went to church one night. and the guest

preacher man of God that was there I started in the gap in the prayer line for my mother at the time but he looked at upon me my countenance and God was letting him know

the words he spoke to me I never will forget he said that someone has really hurt your heart and you need a healing that's what he said and I had not told this man

anything. Yeah. I cried for a year straight from a broken heart and I never thought that God would send someone that loves him so much that they knew how to love me. I know where I shop. I shop right online right from the comfort of my own home at Duna's reception for the latest in fashion. clothing, shoes, bags, accessories, and so much more. Shop www. Dot dynamosperception.com. Elevate your vision.

Tell them I sent you. So the minister was able to pick you out and say, hey, you got a broken heart in other words and pray for you. Yeah, he did. He did. Oh, God, works in a serious ways. He works in a mysterious way.

Boy, so your heart, you're talking about your heart being broken, so you want to go into that? You can or you don't have to, but, you know, sometimes people are listening and might help them. If you can go into that heart broke relationship that you were in.

Yeah. Sure, I'll tell you. And I pray that this encourages every listener, man or woman, you know, that may be going through or maybe accepting, you know, less than what you are worth. Right. But I went through a broken heart because someone I had given the, I guess you can say, wifely treatment, you know, you cook for them, you do everything for them and you think they're going to marry you. but then it turns out they don't, they go over you to marry someone else. And that's what happened in my case, you know.

And I cried literally for a whole year. And, um, I had to, you know, yes, ma'am, it wasn't a year. That's a long time. That was some real heartbreak right there. That was real. horrible. You know, and I had to realize, like, with every tear, God was, not, God was healing me and cleansing

me with every time. Now they say God catches our tears, you know, if we are children of God, I mean, he touched those tears, so. Yep. He does. One whole year. That was some pain. Definitely pain, you know, and.

But to. B. Where I am now and to have the man of God that the Lord sent me now, oh, my gosh. Wow. It's like night and day. Night and day. Someone that finally rescued you. Someone that finally, like, love you showing the love of God that you're so deserving

up because the person that I know that you are, you're a wonderful person. You're very dedicated to you. Your church. You're very dedicated to things that you. you do and I'm really happy for you. And so God sent you that, that husband, that you've been so praying for all of these years. Yes. So my future, you know, soon to be a husband, he is from Missouri. And the thing I want to tell people, he's in Missouri, I'm in Georgia, but don't limit God on where he can sing your spouse. Don't think that the Lord.

can just, you know, your spouse has to come from your church or your neighborhood or your state. They don't have to. If we just take the limits off of the Lord or let him do it, he'll do it the right way. Yes, you know. And you're praying for this, too. This is not something that you just prayed one time and say, Lord, give me a husband, give me the right husband, of course. But you have been praying for this and you have been waiting because it's good to wait on the Lord.

You can jump into something. And it may not be the Lord, but you prayed, and then upon praying, you waited upon the Lord. That's it. You have to wait on him. We can't get in a rush and go and pray and then move on, you know, kind of like, you know, Abraham or Sarah did, you know, or Abraham, he did with Hagar. You know, they couldn't wait on the promise of the child, so he went and he sent Hagar, you know, Sarah sent Hagar to her, to Abraham. We don't want to do that. Right.

you know. That's right. But just wait on the Lord. And when I tell you that this man of God not only prays for me, praise over me, he will surprise me from Missouri to Georgia. It's about nine hours. It's a nine hour drive. But I will open my door sometimes and I'll see like my favorite coffee at my door

that's been delivered. It's because he's delivered it. He had a delivered way from where he's from. And that's so sweet That's what you call it intentional love Yes Yes Noticing the little things that you like

You know It's the little things Yeah Oh that's so sweet And have you coffee outside the door where he's ordered it And they bring it right outside your door Yeah Listen to this testimony

that she's telling. You got to wait on the Lord. Just jump at anybody. Wait. Wait on his best. So you were talking about your fiance,

soon to be your husband. And I'm enjoying this topic so much. Can proceed. Well, you know, I'm just, you know, how do we read, And we've seen the fairy tales, you know.

We've seen the cartoons where, oh, the man comes with flowers and he does this, but to actually have someone that will drive nine hours to see you. And then when he gets there, it treats you like a queen. You know, you don't pay for anything. Anything I need or want. He does that for me. He's proven to be a praying man, a provider. a provider.

He's all of these things. What you've been praying for? The things you've been praying for. Exactly. You know, truly, truly shows me how to love Christ, love his wife like Christ of the church. He's showing me that. Right.

He's Lord, ain't no half doing God. When he go, he goes, he'll go a lot big because God owns everything, you guys. He owns everything. He owns everything. He owns us. He owns the businesses. He owns the billionaires out there.

He own everything. So, yeah, God's not a half. When he do something, he go all the way. But God is like this. He stays the one. He want to be the man in charge. He wants to trust him. It took me a long time to trust, really put my trust in the Lord like I should.

But he wants us to trust him to do what he promised us he was going. going to do anyway. Mm-hmm. Yes. You haven't got my way. Yes. And I do also want to let people know when the Lord

put kingdom marriages together versus for kingdom purpose. Because my future husband is also going to help me with ministry, with my ministry. Right. I'm really happy about that.

And I'm not going to touch on anything, but I do want to say this that when you wait upon the Lord, as you wait have waited and God put the right person in your life, it's good to wait because sometimes when you're in a rush, that's why you see people when they don't work out, then it wasn't God's will because they, you know, they didn't wait on God. You got to wait on God. Sure, we all want that helpmate. I think that's what you call it.

We all want that person in our life to be with us, to go with us, to, to, to, to, to minister with us or in my music to music and a lot of things. But you want the right person. You don't want to just say, well, I want somebody. That person will look okay right there and jump at that person because down the line it may be the wrong person, but you waited on the Lord and you know that you know that you know that you know that God said to the right person. Oh, that's so cool. That's so sweet.

I love stories like that. Oh, I love story. Thank you. Thank you I do I told you remind me of the old movies Like you know You know black and white movies

Oh my God I'll make you these movies out of my mind But that is so great So the wedding you said And you've already told me It's in December Yes it is And that is right up on us

It's right up on us December is right up on us Sometimes I'm talking about right up on us Yeah I'm excited. He's moving to Georgia. So no worries about me moving to Missouri. He's moving to Georgia.

Oh. So that's say right there, he really love you because he's willing to, you know, come on your, on your, on your turf. He's willing to come on your side of town and stuff. So that's great. Because most people want you to come where they are, you know. so, but he's willing to come where you are and you guys work out some things. And I think that's so sweet. And I'm so happy for you.

Congratulations. Thank you so much. Wow. What a story. I mean, you just heard what she said. But you got the key thing in it, you got to wait, though. You got to wait on the laureate. We can't rush on.

No. We can't rush on. You know, and she's just, been waiting. I know she's been waiting because she's always praying and she's always saying she wanted a good husband and somebody that can help her and somebody could be with her in ministry and these are things I've known through the years. So I know that she's been waiting. It's not like she's just grap getting job John and Bob just out there, you know. Not to the John of Bob's though, okay? You guys still are right. I'm just saying that is so amazing. I'm so amazing. I'm

So, so, so happy for you. So, oh, I'm glad to share that with me. I mean, I know there's more of the comm, so we're not going to, you know, we go on it anymore, but I'm so happy to share the love story. Now, we are not finished. We're not done talking, guys, but she didn't want to share that really good, upbeat news with you right there, so you can give you something to think about it.

I look forward to if you just wait on the Lord. So, you see those breast cancer. month and this is caring for, you know, your loved one month and not just loved one, but somebody that's sick or whatever and, you know,

maybe there are other testimonies you want to talk about because what you just told was a testimony. That's a great testimony that you found your soulmate. Your soulmate found you. That's a testimony right there. Thank you for you.

Thank you for sharing that. So do you have any other Testimonies you want to tell that, you know, because it is breast cancer month and it is, you know, there are other things going on as well. And we don't always talk about the bad things. You know, we just bring in the information to people to listen to so they can, you know, maybe get some information that they can go by, you know, like, what do you got? What do you got today? Well, I do know as far as breast cancer, like I don't know about any other cities, but I do know here. in the city where I am in

Macon that there are lots of like mobile breast care, breast mammogram buses that'll come and do mammogram exams for women. So someone has to check their city,

but that's pretty much I wanted to just advocate, you know, and just let people know that there's, you can go on your local, I don't know, here in Macon is the atrium health. They do a lot with breast cancer and examinations. And the best way to prevent breast cancer is early screening.

So I will say that. Well, everybody gets your mammogram. Go get your mammogram. Right. And that doesn't mean you'd have to actually go into the actual doctor. Mm-hmm. getting seen and done. So please, please do that.

And it's very important. I mean, I know sometimes when you're Christian, people think that you don't have to do these things. I'm going to be all right, you know, but it's good to be wise. Right. And I agree with that or what you just said. But here's the thing.

The Lord put doctors here for a reason. He put therapists here for a reason. So it's okay. It's perfectly okay. We just have to put our trust in him and then just do what he said do. Right. There's a lot of times when people are going under the knife. And I was speaking with someone this morning and from one of the churches that I go and see it sometimes.

And she was telling me how it's when he got hurt. But she said something similar to that. She said, well, God put the right people in place to get a broken nose and I got hurt really bad. And she said, God, just put the right people in place. place to, you know, to work on him because he, his face was swollen and stuff. Oh, man. But when you said that God put in the right people, the doctors, the nurses, the, yeah, God can use those people too to make us better, you know, so I don't think for a moment that it's wrong to go to the doctor or to go get your stuff checked out. It's not. Well, right. Right. Yes. And for anybody that

say caretaker of someone with any type of cancer, prayers to them, you know, is not easy caring for someone that has cancer. But don't give up. Keep going. Keep pressing. Keep, you know, keep praying. That's the most thing. Keep praying.

Right. Keep praying for them because, you know, you know, I mean, if it's not their time, you know, God can give him a miracle. And it's been known that he gave miracles. If at that time, of course, we have to accept the will of the Lord. But if it's not their time, you know, God, I keep them around a little bit longer, you know, for his sake. But you know what I noticed, Sister Gore, soon to be, Sister Taylor. You know what I noticed sometimes when people are sick and they are suffering?

Well, they don't like hearing a lot of people say. See, they're like that because of what they did to me, what they said to me. It's not always that case. Sometimes it's because they got the thing going on with the Lord, that they got to be obedient to the Lord. It's not always what they did to me or you and said to me. I don't like when people say that because they start to make themselves out to be God's little special buddy. or princess or something.

That doesn't operate like that, you know. And I don't like to hear people say that because of something they did to me. And who are you besides the filthy rag? You know, we just with the Bible. Right. Right. That's exactly what the Bible says,

that we're all, that are more than filthy rags. You know, anytime someone's going through a debilitating illness or something happens to them, it's not because they may have wronged, me or wrong you, that just might be a battle that they have to fight. That just might be a form they have to go through, you know. And for us to think of ourselves that way shows that we try to put ourselves higher than the Lord's feet, you know, and that's not the case.

Yeah, and I don't like to hear that because I know that a lot of times, when I go through days, I think for myself, I'm like, okay, Lord, where has I fail you? You know, so somewhere I've failed you somewhere. But from the outside looking in, because people don't know what business. But from the outside looking in, if they knew your business, it'd be like, see, you're not doing what you're supposed to do for the Lord, and you can treat me right or whatever. It doesn't do with you at all. What does you do with you? That person got a relationship that was going, that tug thing going on with the Lord, and you constantly got the deal with tugging too, so trying to get you on his side.

So you got that thing going on with the Lord where God is trying to say, okay, trying to get your attention. You're down right now trying to get your attention for a reason. Not because somebody said that you wronged them in some way. I don't like that. I don't like it. I just don't like when people put themselves above God because you're not, that's what?

Like you trying to scare that person and you, come on now. You're not God. And I just had to bring that up. I could bring that up. I really did. Yeah. We all have a cross to bear. Whether people have come to know Jesus yet or they do know him already, we all have a cross to bear.

And your cross might be heavier than mine, but we still have to bear it, you know. And it may come with sickness. It may come with, you know, trials. It may come with many different tribulations, but it's still a cross that we have to be willing to bear. That's right. And we've got to work out of own self-servation. This is a personal journey.

The journey is the personal one because no one's going to stand before the Lord with you or me. So this is a personal journey. It's not how you treat. I'm treating you. me. Yeah, we got to treat everybody right. That's true. But if someone wrong you or you wrong them, then get that right. Don't hold that in your heart and say, uh, it's because of the way you see, that's what's happened. It's why you're dying or that's why you're going through that. No, that's that journey they're having with the Lord because they're the one that's got

to stand before the Lord and, you know, got to work on our own soul salvation. I love that script. By the way, my mom is to read that all the time. I love it. Yes. And also, just to add the last little bit to that, even the Lord says in his word that we shouldn't say, aha, aha, or that's why you, when someone's going through or when someone's lost. Because he said if we do that and we say those things, he'll then turn his focus and anger and off of them and put it on you. Because you just now rejoice in what somebody else is going through. So whether you saved or not, let's not do that. Yes. Let's not do that.

That's powerful. See, we wasn't playing on going on this avenue today, but we ended up doing this, you know. Wow. I'm so glad that we did. I'm saying how long have we've been here. We've only been here. We've been here 46 minutes. It's not bad.

It doesn't seem like that long. We just been talking. Yeah, that's been like that long. See, when you're time fly when you're, as a true saying, time fly when you're having fun. There you go. One of my guests the other days that he didn't realize it was working because he loved what he was doing. So here we are enjoying our conversation, just rolling right along, and here it has been almost an hour. So is there anything else that you want to bring to the public or you got something?

You want to say, oh, you want to give a shout out to anybody out there because there are people out there listening to. Do you have friends that you like to shout out? Anything like that? I do want to just, you know, shout out my wonderful son, Christopher, who's a singer and a drummer, and he loves the Lord. 18 years old, and he loves the Lord, I tell you, to God be the glory. Shout out my fiancé and all of my family. And I do, before we get off, I do want to say a prayer for every listener. that may be going through.

I say a prayer for every listener. Please do. You're welcome, Jesus. Let's do it. Okay. Father Lord, in the name of Jesus, Lord, I pray for the person that's listening to this podcast. I pray for someone, they may be going through. They may be on their way to work, Lord.

They may be on their way to wherever destination they're going. But I pray, Lord, that you touch their lives. I pray that you heal every broken home. I pray that you bring back every wayward soul, every wayward child. I pray that you deliver them and deliver their children and love ones from different strongholds, different drugs, different things that may be on out there in the world, Lord. I pray that you deliver them and bring them back home. I pray that you touch the finances of people that's listening.

I pray that you pay every bill, open up every window, Lord of heaven, God, and pour out upon their lives that they will not have room to receive. I pray that you heal every listener, whatever they may be going through in their body, from the top of their head to the soul of their feet. Lord, heal every infirmity, forgive every iniquity in the name of Jesus. I pray that you keep them covered and shielded by your precious blood. God, no matter where they are, Lord, God, and anywhere in the world, Lord, I pray that they hear this prayer and they grab a host of faith.

Know that you'll never leave them. You'll never forsake them, Lord. I pray, Lord, for those that are hungry right now, Lord God. Let them know, God, that you will provide every meal, every morsel, just like you provided for the birds of the air. You provided for Elijah when he was hungry. You will provide for them, Lord, in the name of Jesus. I pray, Lord, God, for everyone that may need a job right now, Lord, God.

Bless them, Lord God, with the job. We know times our heart, Lord, God, where everything in this world belongs to you. everything in this world you created and it's in your hand. I pray that Lord, you bless people with jobs and careers, Lord. And I pray, Lord, God, that every enemy, Lord, is that peace with people in the name of Jesus. Father, I pray, God, just for every listen to, Lord, that you touch them. Lord God, with this prayer. Touch them with your word and your finger of love.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen. Amen and amen. I don't want to come in there too much because when it's, when you're recording on the line, it's a little bit different than when you're in person and you're saying, okay, yeah. It just sounds like a lot of noises in the background,

but thank you for that prayer. I heard so many great things in that prayer. Oh, my God. There's so many things. So to all the listeners, please grab a hook to the things that you heard today and let them sink into your heart and be blessed, because you're going to be blessed. And again, we had Goretta on because you turned out to be a favorite here.

And so people are going to listen because they know that, you know, you are on today. So I truly appreciate you stopping by again. As I said, the last time, don't be a stranger. I would not. Don't be a stranger. I might just call you up and say, how do you feel about them high yesterday? You know, and hopefully just say, oh, let me see, let me get my coffee, you know. Yeah.

So, but I appreciate you telling your love story because it was so beautiful. The words that you shared with everyone and teaching us how we got to wait on the Lord.
