Karen Waldrup, known for her powerful voice, viral videos, and creative spirit, is excited to release her new single “Keeping The Faith,” today!  The single delivers a powerful message about perseverance, hope, and trusting the journey through life’s most uncertain moments. For Karen Waldrup, “Keeping The Faith” is a deeply personal reflection of trusting God’s plan while navigating major life changes, including a difficult divorce, and believing that no matter the challenges, heartbreaks, or unexpected turns life may bring, there is always something brighter ahead for those who continue to believe. Through heartfelt lyrics and an inspiring message, the song reminds listeners that even in difficult seasons, unexpected blessings often arrive right when they are needed most.

“Keeping the Faith is about always believing that good things will happen and then trusting that they will,” says Waldrup. “It’s about waking up every day with hope in your heart, even when you can’t yet see the outcome. Faith isn’t always easy, but sometimes it’s the only thing that keeps you moving forward and reminds you that better days are ahead.”

Waldrup spent a great deal of time in prayer, asking God that if there was a creature in need of love and care, he would send it her way. Then, while she was attending a wedding in Puerto Rico, a dog unexpectedly appeared on her street and refused to leave. Her neighbors cared for the pup, put up posters, and searched for an owner, but no one ever came forward.

Now officially adopting the dog—lovingly named “Rica”—Karen believes the experience was a true example of faith and perfect timing.

“Before I left for Puerto Rico, I prayed and asked God that if one of His children—human or not—needed a home and someone to love them, to send them my way,” says Waldrup. “While I was gone, this sweet little soul showed up at my house and never left. Rica has completely stolen my heart, and I truly believe she was sent to me for a reason.”
