LM, I love your post! I think it is so wise. God's time and His vast purposes are sometimes so unknown for us.
I don't always know why, but I do know that God does let us go the distance in our trials sometimes. I suppose that is part of trusting that God is working out something bigger or perhaps more broad for us. Once I went thru a trial with my health and plead with the Lord over what seemed like an unfair trial. My answer was that the trial wasn't for me -- it was for one of my loved ones. My trial with my health isn't over and may never be. But I have made friends with it and I see many blessings because of it.
I read once that things happen "for" us, not "to" us. There is a blessing....a gift in every experience if we decide to look for it.
