About Me

You've got to be kidding me, I have Breast Cancer? My name is Madelene Boudreaux. I just had my 51st birthday and my present was cancer. Although it wasn't the present I was expecting, I have decided to embrace it as such. My life as it existed is changed. Even though my diagnosis is that I have the most common breast cancer you can have (80% of the women who get breast cancer have this one) and the actual tumor was only 1.2 centimeters and there was only a microscopic spec in one lymph node... things just changed overnight. I feel confident that I will be healed with all the surgery, chemo and radiation, as well as the prayers, the shift in lifestyle and health changes, all of this with God as my Healer overseeing the whole plan. Most importantly, sunsets are more beautiful, my children are more precious and I cry for everything. Such clarity prevails, where life was blurry. I know my healing will come gently through trusted medical professionals, faith in a loving God and prayerful friends. I am surrounded by love with my family of eight kids and a great husband and a community of kind spirits!

Rise up!!!




On Thursday, Haley and Maddie, participated in their school's passion play. It was so well done. They and their classmates did a great job. I was extremely touched!
It's been a great weekend so far, although I think its about to rain on my parade!! Literally! We are all at Toldeo Bend with the exception of Bryan and Kristin:( Had just a little work to do, and then just enjoy the setting with my family. This was Audrey's first travel experience. She is being very good, while she awaits the arrival of the Easter bunny. The weather yesterday was great, today, kinda cloudy and windy. It's probably gonna rain, but we have enjoyed our time being together. Check out Audrey and Mimi's matching camo shirts!! And Ricky's Ginormaous fish!
Have seen so many butterflies this weekend,  reminding me of my ongoing transformation. Am marveling in the glory of what we celebrate tomorrow, while giving thanks that our Good Lord, suffered for us, for me, and His Resurrection gives me hope for each new day! I, too, must rise up and greet each day as a new blessing and strive to continue to grasp my purpose in every day! What does God want from me? Easter Blessings to all of you.
