Anyone Getting Excited?

Today, we had our weekly staff meeting and as we discussed what we have been reading in Romans, it got me excited about where we are heading this fall.  I was wondering if any of you were also anxiously expecting something?

Check out these two passages:

"As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth:  it will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it." 
- Isaiah 55:10-11 (TNIV)

"For the word of God is alive and active.  Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart." 
- Hebrews 4:12 (TNIV)

If we really believe the bible to God's written word to us, then we must believe these words to be true.  If we believe these words to be true, then an embarking on a book like Romans must be met with some sort of anticipation, right?

What are you anticipating?
