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, speaker, business leader, and author of Handbag of Hope and Strong Faith: What We as Women Learn from Samson, I am passionate about encouraging others to grow in their faith and purpose. A graduate of Houston Faith Bible Institute and Christian Leaders and Speakers Seminar (CLASS), I've had the privilege of leading youth, young adult, and women's ministries.
I hold an undergraduate degree from Texas A&M University, and a Master’s degree, and I am currently writing my third book, a daily devotional. You can also find me on my YouTube channel, Handbag of Hope, where I share weekly one-minute Shorts and messages of encouragement.

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.
