ARTISAN SPOTLIGHT<br />
Meet the Smiths<br />
By Lacey Smith<br />
Our business began on a prayer<br />
and followed with a giant leap of faith.<br />
When my husband, Aaron, and I got married, we knew we wanted to start<br />
our own business at some point. Aaron always had a brilliant mind and artistic<br />
souI and I wanted to encourage that with everything I had. Like most<br />
people, unfortunately, we had no idea where to start. First, we went to college<br />
and got degrees to have “something to fall back on”. Aaron received a<br />
job offer at a very cushy structural engineering firm and honestly, it<br />
felt like we had fallen into a honey pot. How could we give up this nice<br />
steady income and do something else? When would we have the time? By<br />
this point we already had two precious little boys to love and care for.<br />
Well, we prayed. We asked God to show us our next step. The thing about<br />
prayer is God always answers, just not necessarily in the way one would expect.<br />
The very next day, Aaron called me at at the end of his work day like<br />
he always did. Only this time he was nervous. They had let him go! I had<br />
asked God to show us the way in such a manner that we would not miss<br />
His timing. At first I was scared, but then it dawned on me -- we asked for<br />
this.<br />
