The eagle, the final symbol on our crest,  represents strength and courage.  His purpose is to remind us that we are to wait upon the Lord for renewed strength and not rush forward in our own imperfect power.  Waiting upon the Lord is a great spiritual discipline that requires much strength of character and fortitude.  While  "only fools rush in" rushing is many times  so much easier and more attractive.  Even as immediate gratification constantly tempts us and shortcuts call out to us loudly, waiting faintly whispers to us of a better way.   At CCA we are committed to waiting upon the Lord for His direction and guidance, seeking His perfect will in our lives and in our school. While the waiting is not easy, in it we find the strength to soar.

"But they who wait upon the Lord, shall renew their strength; they shall mount up on wings as eagles;
they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk and not faint. "  Isaiah 40:31  KJV
