Diana’s Story
Hello there, I'm Diana, and I'm thrilled to share the heart behind Handbag of Hope.
It's all about spreading encouragement and hope, especially for those looking to deepen their faith and connection with God. My own journey began in a challenging childhood, but through it all, I discovered hope and strength in Jesus.
God's Faithfulness
As I navigated my college years, my walk with God had its ups and downs, but diving into His Word and experiencing His faithfulness during life's trials strengthened my faith. Now standing stronger than ever with Jesus by my side, I'm living by the inspiring words from Hebrews 10:23, urging us to hold unswervingly to the hope we profess because the One who promised is faithful.
Blessed with an amazing husband who loves God, together we've built a blended family with three amazing sons and a delightful daughter. Balancing full-time work, family life, and our commitment to serving the Lord has been an adventure, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Faith-Led Leadership
As a licensed minister, a graduate of the Christian Leaders and Speakers Seminar (CLASS), a speaker, businesswoman, and the author of Handbag of Hope and Strong Faith: What We as Women Learn from Samson, I've had the privilege of leading both youth and women's ministries. With an undergraduate degree from Texas A&M University, a Master’s degree, and a passion for writing and encouraging others, I'm currently working on my third book and recently launched a YouTube channel, Handbag of Hope, to share weekly one-minute Vlogs.

My communication style is sprinkled with humorous stories – from the wonderful challenges of raising children to the relatable mishaps life throws our way. Personally, I find joy in music, bubble baths, indulgent lattes and of course chocolate. My goal is to help people discover and embrace the abundant life that Jesus has for them. So, grab a cup of coffee, and let's journey together toward a life filled with hope, faith, and laughter.
