Three questions that can be applied to every type of pain and suffering. -In closing Lori Ann encourages others to hold on to their faith, recognizing that God desires an ongoing conversation with them, regardless of their circumstances. PODCAST INTRO: My guest Lori Ann Wood has discovered so much beauty in the midst of a life detour that could only promise uncertainty and yet it became a divine detour. Hard fought beauty, as she sifted through layers of questions and gave God her deep heartache. What she's discovered and shares here today, is going to be gold for your heart. Lori Ann shares the journey she entered into when her life hit a major detour, based on an unexpected diagnosis of heart failure. Married to her high school sweetheart and mother to three adult children, Lori's life was bustling with activity and health consciousness. However, a shocking diagnosis challenged her understanding of control, faith, and God's presence in suffering. Lori Ann candidly discusses the initial disbelief of her diagnosis and the silence from God that she experienced, comparing her questions and search for understanding and the struggle with answered prayer to a spiritual wrestling match. Despite her pristine health metrics, she overlooked minor symptoms, not knowing those symptoms were pointing to her life changing detour. Throughout the conversation, Lori Ann delves into the duality of grief and gratitude, acknowledging the coexistence of pain and thankfulness. She emphasizes the significance of lament in her faith journey, a practice she initially hesitated to embrace but found crucial for expressing her deepest fears and doubts to God. I especially loved when our conversation turned to her book, Divine Detour where she explores three pivotal questions inspired by Jesus's temptations in the desert: Is this life all there is? Is God always good? Is God's plan enough? These questions reflect her struggle with worry, doubt, and control, ultimately leading her to a deeper relationship with God. You're going to be extravagantly blessed as you listen to this conversation and all that Lori Ann has to share. In every one of her answers she delivers beautiful insight with regard to God's heart for those who are suffering. If you are in a season of loss and uncertainty and you wonder where God is, does He care about what is happening in your life….then make time to engage with every bit of Lori Ann's insight. The title of her book says it perfectly, Divine Detour because when the unexpected throws a block into the road that were happily headed down, I know that is the exact spot where the enemy wanted to destroy us (with a diagnosis, with that loss, with no end in sight, with grief)…but God….He enters with His love, grace and mercy, and turns our detour into something far more beautiful than what this life has to offer. If at all possible, get your pen and paper ready because you're gonna want to capture and reread these distinctions and revelations that Lori Ann has to share.

After discovering a serious heart condition almost too late, Lori Ann became an award-winning author and speaker whose passion is to explore deep faith questions along the detours of life. Lori Ann's first book, Divine Detour: The Path You'd Never Choose Can Lead to the Faith You've Always Wanted, is available at Amazon and at https://loriannwood.com/books/.

Welcome to Heart of the Matter Radio/Podcast. As we celebrate Valentine's Day, we are covering riveting love stories. Today we featured Lori Ann and Dell Wood. They love to hold hands and laugh. But their idyllic life took an unexpected route when Lori Ann collapsed and almost died. Join us as we journey with them through the unthinkable.
In today's episode, Lynn Roush, LPC, sits down with Lori Ann Wood, an inspiring author, speaker, and survivor of medical trauma. As part of our series on “Surviving and Thriving After Trauma,” we are delving into the challenges and lessons that come from facing health crises, and the shift that needs to occur from being a “fixer” to accepting that not everything in life can or will be solved. When a trip to urgent care led to a 2 week stay in the ICU as a critical care patient, Lori Ann Wood's life went from predictable to precarious. Being diagnosed with end stage heart failure with an enlarged heart functioning at only 6%, Lori Ann was faced with a health crisis that would test her faith with an uncertain future. Lynn and Lori Ann discuss how medical crises disrupt not only your physical well-being but also create emotional, psychological and spiritual instability. When you receive a “forever diagnosis”, nothing seems normal anymore and everyone in the family is affected by the detour that occurs when you lose your health. Lori Ann's journey of receiving a life-altering diagnosis and how she processed the feelings of failure, guilt and shame that come with chronic illness, will encourage and comfort anyone who can relate to the struggle to find hope when your heart - or health - fails.

The gunshot death of Lori Ann Johnson, age 34, in Tacoma, Washington on September 12, 1994 has sat idle for over three decades. I have come to know her family well. The mother of the homicide victim is elderly now. It is her fondest wish to know who killed her child. Lori's lifeless body was found in the 1200 Block of South 11th St. in Tacoma (the Hilltop area) in the morning by a physician on his way into his office. No witnesses came forward. There was no CCTV camera footage, no useful prints, or DNA evidence. While three suspects were named in her file, there did not appear to be any follow-up. There have been no updates. - not one in 30 long years. Mrs. Johnson feels forgotten. The victim's daughters have grown up without answers too. I accompanied Mrs. Johnson to the Tacoma P.D. several years ago. One officer met us in the noisy lobby and refused to say anything except "It's an open investigation. I can't speak with you." He was abrupt and dismissive.Can you help? If you are a journalist - can you breathe life into this old case? If you are in law enforcement can you see why nothing has come of this homicide (not even an annual phone call to Lori's family)? Could you be a witness or know someone who is? If so, please contact me.
