    About this ebook

    You Don't Have to be an Eagle to Fly is all about finding your talents and not only making the best of them but learning to be proud of whatever it is God made you to be.

    God didnt make us all eagles, but he did make us all so we can fly. We dont have to feel like we are not doing everything we should because we arent rich or famous. Thats not Gods way for very many of us at all.

    If you have ever wondered if you were doing everything you could and should be doing with your life or if you feel bad that you arent as successful as others you see around you, this quick, easy, and humorous book is just what you need.

      AUTHORS NOTE:

      I wanted this book to be a quick fun read that leaves you feeling good about yourself and about your future.

      Writing this book has made me think and put my thoughts in an order that has helped me be even better at flying. It has also helped me to remember that, if God wasn’t my creator this old bird would be so grounded!

      Please enjoy the book and I pray you receive a blessing from reading it.
