Prayer Team
God has a plan for your life: often it may not coincide
with your ideas. That is the lesson Tracy Balderach
accepted four years ago. After having her fourth baby
in six years, she had not intended to enter the field of
Coaching.
Abandoning her previous business career as an area
representative for an IT company, she opted to com-
bine the four cornerstones of her life: Faith, Family,
Food and Fitness. The result: Faithfully Fit, a consul-
tancy dedicated to helping individuals savor life’s sweet
moments.
“Soon after I had our fourth baby (in under 6 years), I
realized that my life was one big FOG,” Tracy recalled.
“I was overweight, lethargic, cranky and wasn't truly
savoring any of the sweet moments that were passing
by so quickly. After praying about my situation, I made
a commitment to make a change!”
During the next 90 days, she lost 30 pounds, but she
gained more focus and energy. Her cloths fit again, but
more importantly, her new lifestyle was impacting her
family in ways she had only previously hoped it would.
“At 41, I have never felt or looked better.” Tracy re-
called. “I decided I wanted to help others who are on
the same journey and struggling the same way I did.”
Tracy effectively uses Facebook, YouTube, Pinterest and
Snap Chat to spread the message that she is “Mama
to 4 little ones, joy seeker, grace receiver, lover of life
and health and fitness coach!” It connects. More than
2,300 Facebookers follow her.
One of her followers recalls: “I was stuck in a non-exer-
cise rut. I could not motivate myself. Once I connect-
ed with Tracy, I was inspired. I really like low impact Tai
Chen and a dance program called CIZE. They are for
me.”
Tracy builds a personal relationship with her clients.
Spend a few moments and her engaging personality
become evident. She is not afraid to share her own
vulnerabilities.
Citing Phil 4:13, “
I can do all things through Christ who
strengthens me,
” as inspiration, Tracy learned to be bold
in proclaiming her faith.
“She keeps pointing you back to Jesus,” testifies her fol-
lower. “She overcame her challenges. She inspires you
to believe that God will help you too!”
Prayer Testimony
Faithfully Fit
A group has been meeting (faithfully) every 10 days or so in the church Parlor to …
PRAY - PRAY - PRAY
… specifically for our congregation!
Did you know that this prayer time is an ‘open’ meeting, and that you too can join in
praying for our church if you want to?
We meet alternately between Tuesday evenings and Saturday mornings, and the time is
facilitated by one of the group. You do not need to do anything except ‘show up’ and pray.
(Listening and/or praying silently counts too!)
Here’s the schedule for September and October:
And, if you are unable to attend the meetings, you can always pray from wherever you are!
